Billabong Odyssey [2 DISC DVD]
"What you are about to see is real"
"A awe-inspiring film" FHM.
A surfer is towed by jetski onto the tip of a rising wave, the camera pulls back and the wave begins to swell. As your eyes re-adjust to the change in scale, the camera pulls back further, and within seconds the wave has risen to a monstrous 70 ft - a thousand tons of moving liquid arching over the surfer's head. Accelerating up to 55 mph, he flies through the arc of rushing water in a race to pull clear before it collapses upon him. This is the beginning of Billabong Odyssey, an epic journey that brought together the greatest surfers in the world with just one goal... to surf the biggest wave in history, and live.
Billabong Odyssey is the stunning feature documentary that made the world sit up and gasp. An unforgettable journey packed with jaw-dropping action and staggering cinematography, this is the incredible story of a group of surfers on a three year mission to surf the biggest waves in the world..and live.
