Girls Rip is a great movie for not only the growing women longboard population, but for anyone who enjoys watching pure talent and grace coming from some of the best women longboarders in the world. With footage from all over California and some of the most famous surf spots around the world, Girls Rip shows the growing sport of women’s surfing in a new way with progressive and classic longboarding. With clips of more famous surfers showed along with up and coming girls, the movie shows current surfing and the future of the sport. I would definitely recommend it to not only surfers, but anyone who likes a great movie with great music and great stars.

I would highly reccomend this DvD to both men and women alike. It is able to capture the growing wave of enthusiasm, spirit, and energy in women’s longboarding and surfing in general. It brings together some of the most talented women in the sport, with interviews in which each one shows their support and interest for their fellow surfer. One comes to understand that beyond the competition and drive to be the best, these women are friends before anything, and this is evident both in the water and to those who feel drawn to be a part of this “new era.” The footage is of extremely high quality, with a beautiful section of waves captured on film from particular popular breaks. The music has been carefully selected, and compliments each scene perfectly. Unlike some other surf videos, you won’t want to skip through sections and chapters, rather, you will want to sit and watch Girls Rip from start to finish.

This is a great video, and I have watched it quite a few times. The surfing styles are so different – from the hard charging Kim Hamrock to the effortless grace of Ashley Lloyd. I’ve surfed with and met a couple of the ladies featured in this video, and they’re just as cool and laid back in real life.

I’m someone who enjoys the hard rocking soundtrack in other surf vids, but I really like the mellow soundtrack here – my favorite track is “I think I’ll go down to the ocean”. Sometimes I leave the DVD on just for the music.

If there’s anything I’d change it would be to make it longer and add a few more shortboarders! But it is definitely a good video as is.

Girls Rip is definitely one of my new favorite longboard movies. It’s filmed and narrated in a whole new way thats super fun to watch. It has some of the most talented women longboarders to date and some pretty good wipe outs. Not only does it let you watch the girls style and surfing, but you hear from other girls about the certian surfer, so you get to know them a little more. I love this movie and i highly recommend it to anyone and everyone in and out if the surfing community!!
