From “Surf Into Summer” way back in 1987, to “Sabotaj” and “Blue Horizon” in the early and mid-2000’s, and all the way through to 2022’s “Interlusion”, Billabong has produced some of surfing’s most iconic films.
Recently, the team at ‘Bong asked their global surf team to vote on their Top-5 of all time. A tall task, to be sure.
“Did they get it right?”, Billabong writes in the description along with this clip. “Watch to see the crew’s results, and let us know your personal favorites below. A special acknowledgment to legend and visionary Jack McCoy, who created the majority of our features in the ’90s and ’00s and set the benchmark for generations to come.”
Considering the Top 5 — “Sabotaj”, “Montaj”, “Interlusion”, “Blue Horizon” and “Trilogy” are all from the last 25 years, the current ‘Bong team suffers from a bit of recency bias. While all 5 films are epic, it feels unfair to leave “Bunyip Dreaming” off that list. Don’t you think?
Regardless, it’s a solid Top-5. But with the highly anticipated “Trilogy 2”, featuring Seth Moniz, Ethan Ewing and Griffin Colapinto coming out just around the corner, it’s only a matter of time before one of these current 5 films gets booted off this list.
