I was watching the movie "North Shore" this morning on TV and noticed at the beginning of it that Chris's song "Blue Hotel" was playing in the background in one scene. I thought that was pretty cool. The movie was made in 1987. It stars Matt Adler, Gregory Harrison, and Nia Peeples. Thought I'd mention it.

That's the surf movie? Is it any good? I love surf movies, but i'm more of a documentary Step Into Liquid/Endless Summer/Riding Giants kinda guy.

Yes the movie "North Shore" is very good. I remember when it came out on TV in 1987. I thought it was pretty cool that Chris's song "Blue Hotel" was playing in the movie.

When you were about nine years old? Sometimes I can't remember what I had for breakfast. Wow, good memory

I was 11 years old when "North Shore" came out on TV in 1987.

North Shore has always been one of my favorite movies. Mom and I quote lines out of it all the time. I love the soundtrack, but I have never been able to find it in any form (record, cassette, CD, etc), and I know it is out of print. If anyone happens to know where I can find a copy, please let me know!

Thanks,

Hey you,

Good to see you hanging around again.
This lil' rockabilly filly has missed you.

Endless Summer was really cool and I've just
recently seen Riding Giants. Hello - how fricken
inspiring is that documentary. Greg Nolls, Jeff
Clarke and Laird Hamilton.

I'm a huge fan!




Hey Talon,

I've never seen this movie but hopefully this is the one you
are talking about. They have copies available on DVD at
Amazon.

North Shore (dvd) 1987

Enjoy

Hey, Miss Sugz! Thanks for the info. I have the movie DVD, I'm searching for any recording of the soundtrack. I wasn't very clear. Most of the songs were performed by a band called Pseudo Echo, which I think is Australian. I've searched since 1987 but I have come up empty-handed.

Yeah, I love surf movies. I grew up watching them and "studying" them. I tried to watch for different techniques that might improve my own performance. I wanted to see Blue Crush just to know if it's any good. But you have to love the classics like Endless Summer -- the cover art and theme song say it all. And you can't forget Big Wednesday. It's better now that I'm older, but I remember when I first saw it I was in no rush for the production of "Big Thursday." (That doughnut on the wiener part was pretty funny, though.)

OMG Talon...I just had to comment on 'Pseudo Echo'. That's a real blast from (my youthful) past! My gawd....brings back lots of memories. Ahhh....the 80's.

Sorry, I'm not into surfing myself, but have to post that if anyone from Chris's people reads these things, (maybe the infamous 'minion'?? And I mean that in an affectionate way! Whatever it is they're paying you minion dear - it ain't enough!!) Anyway, if you're out there, please tell Chris that when he comes down here to Melbourne in Aus. he HAS to find time to visit the Surfing Museum down at Torquay. He's playing at Geelong, and Torquay is only just down the highway from there (just tell him to head for the coast - and that it's on the right-hand side of the highway as he heads for Bell's Beach. ). He'd LOVE this place.

O.k. I just went and dug the link up: http://www.surfworld.org.au/

Hang ten!!

Talon12CT, I have seen "Blue Crush" before when it first came out in the theater. I also did watch it when it came out on cable tv. It was a great movie. You would like it.

-Deanna

No no, my fault honey! You were perfectly clear.
I just didn't read your post properly. Wow Pseudo
Echo hey. There's a blast from the past. Just like
Miss Cheryl, they bring back memories.

Thanks, Deanna! Now I know I'll have to see it. Much appreciated.

LOL. I read somewhere only recently (think it's probably due to the 'Countdown Revivial' thing) that apparently at the height of their fame, Brian Canham was individually sponsored by a hairspray company.

There's a Beat for You babe, are you Listening?! hee hee.
