Crystal Voyager (1973)


Directed by David Elfick
My rating: 3 stars out of 4

Documentary about surfing legend George Greenough. He drops out to spend all of his time surfing or building things to help him surf. He designs and builds a new fin for his surfboard based on a dolphin fin. He raids a scrap metal yard for materials to help him build a sailboat and then takes off in it with his surfing buddies. The film threatens to become another Endless Summer clone, when the final sequence of mesmerizing photography by Greenough set to the epic Pink Floyd song "Echoes" takes it to a completely different level.
