Billabong Odyssey - My Favorite Movies Journal

Wow! I really loved the movie Billabong Odyssey. The movie is absolutely stunning with top-notch graphics and visuals while Layne Beachley deliver some award-winning performances in this movie.

I also think Ken Bradshaw was great! The visuals and graphics make for some very realistic on screen special-effects but that is the beauty of the movie.When the movie wants to be funny it is funny, the same is true for when the movie needs to deliver its scary aspects.

I think Layne Beachley and Ken Bradshaw worked wonderful in Billabong Odyssey. The great supporting cast includes Layne Beachley, Ken Bradshaw, Darryl Virostko, Brian L. Keaulana, Mike Parsons (VI).

You should see it, make no mistake this is a definite blockbuster!

Summary of Billabong Odyssey:

In addition to boasting one of the most astonishing opening sequences in the history of extreme-sports filmmaking, Billabong Odyssey offers a breathtaking survey of big-wave surfing at a pivotal stage in its evolution. With the advent of Jet-Ski Waverunners used for “tow-in” access to gigantic waves that paddle-surfers could never reach, this three-year, globe-trotting quest for the world’s biggest waves is nothing less than spectacular. As documentaries go it’s a bit cruder than 2003’s other surfing movie, Step Into Liquid, and many of the same world-class surfers appear in both films (including 49-year-old Ken Bradshaw, still going strong). But Billabong is unrivaled in its abundance of jaw-dropping footage–most of it shot from helicopters hovering in close proximity–showing the sheer, terrifying scale of breaking “tubes”–some reaching 100 feet–at the most challenging big-wave locations on the planet, including Maverick’s at Santa Cruz, California; Cortes Bank off the Pacific Coast; “Cyclops” in Australia; Mundaka, Spain; and the treacherous “Jaws” reef on the coast of Maui, Hawaii.

While touching on various hot topics such as safety training, serious wipe-outs, swell-tracking technology, female surfers (like the great Layne Beachley), and hydrofoil surfboards (billed as “the future of the sport”), director Philip Boston applies a casual, competitive structure that’s too diffuse and lightweight to have much impact. But when the film focuses on the climactic “Jaws” showdown between Carlos Burle and Mike Parsons, Billabong Odyssey achieves a state of raw power and spiritual intensity, culminating in Parsons’ best-ever 10-point ride on a massive tube that constantly threatens to consume him. As dozens of adrenaline-junkie surfers strive for new horizons of unprecedented skill, Billabong Odyssey chronicles their efforts with amazing bird’s-eye cinematography. For surfers and non-surfers alike, this movie must be seen to be believed. –Jeff Shannon
