Water Colours

About This Movie

Water Colours is an intriguing surf documentary that really immerses you in the experience of riding the waves. Herb, our guide, brings a personal touch, capturing not just the action but the essence of surf culture, all through his camera's eye. There's a laid-back vibe that resonates throughout, especially as he paddles out to join seasoned surfers like Dwayne DeSoto and Zack Howard. The camera work is pretty impressive too, especially with the water housing that gives you these intimate shots of the surf. It’s like you’re right there with them, feeling the water splash and the adrenaline rush. This film stands out for its simplicity and authenticity, capturing that raw, wild spirit of surfing without the usual gloss.

Water Colours has seen a modest amount of releases over the years, with its initial DVD pressing being somewhat scarce. Since then, it hasn't received much attention in terms of reissues, making it a bit of a hidden gem for collectors. While it may not have the broad recognition of major surf films, its raw and genuine portrayal of the surfing experience can pique interest among those who appreciate surf culture.
