Thicker than Water is about a group of surfers (Brad Gerlach, Bobby Martinez, Noah Johnson, Conan Hayes...) who surf in Ireland and Tahiti. There are also other miscellaneous segments in the video, such as the green board. This video comes in a boxed set, together with a full-color glossy book, detailing the journey.
Pros:The cinematography is great. The music is nicely done, fitting the mood of each segment quite well. The talking-story format clicks with the images presented.
My favorite part of the video is the green board segment. The green board is a semi-squashtail that was shaped from an old longboard. It has a single, awkward-looking fin. Tons of pros surf on it, and it's a great idea to include this because you get to see how different surfer's styles and techniques fit the same equipment. The other part I liked about the video is when they hit those huge lefts up in Ireland and the wind is just howling. The guys look so frail as they're dropping in.
Cons:This video can get a little too artsy at times, however some things said are downright inspirational. Some parts, such as Conan in New York, don't work too well.
