Pegasus

About This Movie

So, 'Pegasus' from 1983 is quite the oddity. I mean, the concept alone—surfer boys learning to ride each other—is something you don’t see every day. It has this lighthearted, almost playful tone that feels very much of its time, capturing that laid-back California vibe. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it gives a certain charm, like a sun-drenched afternoon spent by the beach. The performances are raw and unrefined, which kind of adds to its unique character—like you’re watching a glimpse of youth culture in a very specific moment. It doesn't rely on flashy effects or high production values, just a simple, straightforward approach that’s somehow refreshing. Definitely a conversation starter on any collector's shelf.

Finding 'Pegasus' on home video is becoming increasingly tricky as it has never seen a major reissue—most copies are from that original VHS run. It seems to hold a niche appeal among collectors drawn to obscure surf culture films and those looking for unique themes. So, expect some interest in bootleg versions, but original formats can command a surprising price given their rarity.
