Surf Stronger--Fitness DVD
Good surfing happens through creativity, passion, and confidence. But before these forces spark your shred engine into gear, you have to be flexible and strong. That’s easily done for the umpteen teeny boppers hopping 5 feet off of every lip and chunk of chop, but it gets more challenging if you are little farther along in your years.

Believe-DVD
At first glance, the whole retro soul movement appears a bit superficial, maybe even a little insincere. The question lingers: what’s the point? The boards are better now, right? Surfing is hotter than ever. There’s nothing an ASP superstar riding a computer shape to a punk rock soundtrack with a private boat anchored out back can’t do, right? Wrong! Check out "Believe" on DVD.
