Fins on Fire

About This Movie

Fins on Fire is an interesting piece in the surf genre, running just 21 minutes but packed with a unique vibe. The abstract music layered over the surf footage gives it a more artistic feel than your typical surf flick. It’s less about the waves and more about the atmosphere, showcasing the Santa Cruz Surfboards team in a way that feels almost experimental. There’s a distinct pacing here that sets it apart, making it kind of hypnotic at times. If you're into surf culture but want something that strays from the usual, this could be right up your alley.

Fins on Fire has garnered attention for its unusual approach to surf videography, straying from conventional narratives and showcasing a more artistic direction. Copies are somewhat rare, as it was produced in limited runs and often gets lost among the more mainstream surf videos. Collectors looking for something off the beaten path might find this to be a fascinating addition to their library, especially given its abstract musical score and experimental tone.
