When I first started surfing (2005) I downloaded this from limewire. It was the only surfing I had and I used to watch it over and over. I totally forgot about it. Awesome to see it again now and reminisce how badly I wanted to surf a point break, a reef.. now I've done it all. Feeling very nostalgic. 😊❤
Great movie! I began my surfing experience in 1963 in the south bay, and the times have been getting more and more incredible each year !! I started on an 8'5" Velzy Jacobs balsa wood board, and finished on a 6'3" tri fin Jacobs....The greatest sport in the world!
saw that in the theater when it came out. other than the endless summer.... its the best non hollywood surf movie of all time.... nothing captures the spirit and love for waves like step into liquid... i show it to everyone that asks me what surfing is really about
Even though I'm not a surfer, I get the statement that when you get the 'fatal taste' and know that you're hooked for life. I had that taste in 1989 with mountain-biking. Also, the stoke is quite similar during the time you're riding and post in my opinion (just surfing the mountain vs. a wave... ) on the soul level. [I grew up on the SoCal coast so I was always close to the beach/surf/ocean vibe even if I was never one of the water tribe; tried surfing once in Huntington Beach and got too many mouthfuls of saltwater and a gnarly earache for my pains... ]
My mom bought my older brother a surfboard in 1968, it had purple flowers on the deck, he pushed me into a wave at 5 years old and I was hooked, 55 years later at 60, I get the same feeling paddling out every time. My mom used to give us hell for skipping school when the surf was up and just the other day I told her , hey, it is all your fault, should have never put up the $50 for that board, but thank god you did.
Very cool, I grew up and still live right on the northeast coast of USA, born begining of summer my mom put me in as infant so I was a water baby, the cold green Atlantic is where I feel at home. The ocean triggers a primitive part of my brain, something that can't be explained easily. Thanks for the content.
I started surfing in 1996 at the age of 38 so, when Step into Liquid came out it caught me full blast on. It shows so much to look up to. It brings me the early memories of my beggining as a surfer... I thought it was released before 2003, though... Great documentary!
i remember renting this from blockbuster as a young san diego grom in the mid 2000s along with endless summer and later riding giants. such great memories of being struck by da bug
Surfing is skateboarding and skateboarding is surfing, waking boarding is snowboarding , snowboarding is wake boarding it's all intertwined . Boards 🏂 🛹 🏄♂️.
I remember I was 13 years old when not only did I start surfing in 2003 but this movie came out around the same time! I remember seeing its premiere at a theatre in Del Mar, CA at the time! Thanks for uploading Step into Liquid Echoboom Sports! Sadly a couple of surfers Dana Brown was lucky to interview at the time are long passed on at least two of them! Rabbit Kakie (1920-2016) and Bruce Brown (1937-2017) are sadly no longer with us! Again it's great to watch this documentary! Thanks for uploading! :)
My worst over the falls backwards trying to punch thru a wave was at Avalanche North shore punched thru only to get sucked with the lip backwards got tumbled so bad I was swimming down thinking was going up. Saw my life flash before me like flash cards , then went from panic to acceptance this is it and the most peaceful feeling I've ever felt . Got pulled by rip out into deep blue waters
Damn I just seen this now and realised it's been more than 10 years since I last watched the endless summer. Time to go watch it again, or them again, 1 and 2.
Weird to see kalani miller (one of the kids in the Wahine competition) and her future husband Kelly Slater (who must have been late 20s) in the same movie. Lol
Cool movie! I went to a Film Festival in Dana Point, California yesterday and they played that movie there. I watched Step into Liquid, though at home today and yesterday, but I did see a concert before that too. It was nice to see people surfing in the waves into the high tides. I saw it on a smaller screen, which was OK. I didn’t get to see it on a large screen, though, which was also OK. Although a large screen would’ve been cooler too.
"Setp into liquid" reminds me of when I was a kid. Wearing my socks, walking around my house. Walking into my kitchen. And someone dripped something, splashed something, and didn't bother to wipe it up. And... You guessed it.... I stepped in it. I stepped into some unknown liquid! 😕
Jaws surfing was pretty tame in this movie. Today surfers paddle into bigger waves than shown here, and the tow ins are so huge. . . Shows how fast big wave surfing has evolved, and what a high level today's surfers show.
I love surfing but it also full of jocks childish locallism advertising marketing sneery people if your a bit of a kook getting insanely crowded full of tourists and beginners who no nothing about surf etiquette even after going to some surf school. You can still get uncrowded waves if you don't mind driving around but it's a bit of a pain. I see it just getting g worse and worse pretty negative sounding but I think that's reality

Limewire? Wowsers 😅
This wasy bible growing up bro 😅
I had the movie on HD DVD... Never surfed but so inspirational...
Wow 100% me too. I still have it on an old drive.
Ya dude thanks for the support jerk ! Lol 😝 Napster
Born in 97 Grew up watching this movie it’s what inspired me to surf
I can watch these kinds if documentaries all day long and not get bored 😊
What do you mean "these kinds" ???
Along with Riding Giants this is still the greatest surf doc of all-time. 🏄🏿♂️
Riding giants is a good one!
If ever a documentary has been made to cover every aspect and participant level of any given sport, it is this one. I have much respect for all.
One of the most beautiful, meaningful, Informative, touching documentaries I've ever watched. Epic❤from one surfer to millions. All the best. 🌊🏄♂🌊

7:33 It took me 21 years, but now I finally remember where I first heard Touched.

You gotta see north shore
The 1987 origional movie. Pretty good

Great movie, I can feel the STOKE, thanks for recommending this Dave - you just created a new surfer 😊
Cried at this. Beautiful.
Like aliens surfing

Beautiful cinematography!!!!😊😊❤❤😊😊❤❤
absolutely STUNNING footage
Best surf movie ever 🙌🏽🌊
Thank you posting this and taking me back. Appreciate you.
Lairds workouts are epic. He has devoted his life to this. Epic. He's the 1 of the goats
He's one of the goats of all time.
Spell check bs.. theres many. He stands out 4 real
Lairds underwater workouts and focus blew my mind. Knowing that some day you'll be trapped underwater for 2 mi😮nutes plus.and train 4 that bad day. OG
Teahupoo...
Awesome video and footage and narrating really no words to describe just a fantastic video you hit the nail on the head,Love it❤

Thank you for posting this

Good times.... miss the simplicity of those times
Weird to see kalani miller (one of the kids in the Wahine competition) and her future husband Kelly Slater (who must have been late 20s) in the same movie. Lol
He would have been 29 in 2003.his future wife appears to be about 11.
I thought the same!!
Thanks for posting
The Cortez bank is so mesmerizing and equally terrifying
Dios.... Que ratito más bueno habéis hechado... Abrazo enorme... Que te gusta un bisping joio... Abrazo enorme cuadrilla!!... 🤙🤙🤙🤙

getting out there a catching a wave that's what it's all about!

TRUE
Aloha 🙌
Only one church on a surfboard .. amen
Awsome 📷 it roocks😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
The movie was shot 2001-2003. There's a girl at 30:20 with extremely pretty eyes and is so beautiful. I wonder how her life turned out?
17:49...now I don't feel so bad...and Laird's huevos have huevos.
Anyone know the song at 1:17:06?
Every wave is like committing suicide but you know you're going to live to enjoy another one
😂😂❤❤
All the Catholics and Protestants surfing together ..Praise the Lord .. amen
CAN’T WE EVER GET AN EPIC SURF FILM WITH SOME STUPID ANNOYING MUSIC AND JUST ENJOY THE PEACE AND ALOHA OF THE WAVES?
1 ❤ 🙏
Kelly 31 at the time...Kalani 16

What's the point of Surfing if you have a Crappy Attitude? I don't get it.
Tow-In is cheating, its like a Climber getting a Helicopter to take them up a mountain, then climbing the final stage.

I’m scared of my granddaughters
🤮🤙🏾
Omg get the lame lefty politics outta here 🥴🙄👉
life rolls on, brother,, my best vibes dude!! keep on riding,, heck yeahhhhh!!!!
But still on any good break, women aren't getting good waves..... Still the same.
maybe they should surf better then
@@adamlorden5666 or become a trans
Yeah, um …no. The ones that are decent surfers and have put in the time get plenty of waves…. just like it is for men.
@@rstthree no.
@@rstthree you can dream... but, without daddy, you are sitting on the side....
Waste your life surfing , cliche wasteful to human kind
Yes, doing enjoyable things in nature with like minded people is a complete waste.
Brilliant I’m speechless
A BIG YES FOR THE GIRLS.. BADASS SURF, EXCELLENT ✨✨✨✨✨✨❤😎✌🔥🔥🔥🔥
