"High Water" is an action-packed adventure centered around surfing's Triple Crown competitions,the professional surfing tour's final three competitions held each year on the North Shore of Oahu. Starting on Halloween and ending around Christmas, it attracts the sport's best surfers to the legendary North Shore, known for its huge waves and unparalleled surf. The Triple Crown is the ultimate proving ground for world class surfers, but the events also lure amateurs, surfers young and old, and hopefuls to the North Shore; where population, tension and commerce swell during the competition. Real life drama, humor, death-defying waves, rivalries, parties, heart-break, romance, injuries, and humanity all collide during the nearly two month competition on Hawaii's "7 Mile Miracle". The film will follow multiple story lines over the course of the entire competition and will rely upon Dana Brown's unique ability to take cinematic events and populate them with heroes and everyday people to construct a moving story.

Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 8/10 by Jeff ShannonServing as director, co- editor and narrator, Brown turns the obsession of top-ranking surfers into a universally appealing celebration of excellence on the treacherous North Shore of Oahu.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThere are plenty of outrageous characters, several surfing celebrities and a few truly compelling stories.
ColeSmithey.com - 7/10 by Cole SmitheyThe big waves of Bruce Brown's famous '60s surfer movies like "Endless Summer" recede in son Dana Brown's piecemeal documentary about the 2005 Oahu North Shore Triple Crown surfing competition.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Dan KoisSure to become a sacred text to surf-movie enthusiasts, but surprisingly watchable even for those who think "goofy-footing" is a new Southern hip-hop dance craze.
About.com - 6/10 by Jennifer MerinPipeline footage of star surfers makes 'Highwater' required viewing for anyone who pursues or want to pursue the sport, but the film also entertains those who just like to watch superb sports performances.
New York Times - 6/10 by Mike HaleHas enough magical shots of surfers standing deep in the curl, their hands rippling along the faces of giant waves, to keep you watching.
Film-Forward.com - 5/10 by Nora Lee MandelLess on the surfing and more on the entertainingly eccentric surfers, but narration can be as insufferable as it is informative, with superficial clichés of sports reportage.
KPBS.org - 5/10 by Beth AccomandoIn a way, Highwater is the antithesis of The Endless Summer, the film made by Brown's father, Bruce Brown, more than four decades ago.
Time Out - 4/10 by Keith UhlichNotwithstanding Brown's occasional half-baked critical comment about the sport's corporatization, the film ends up as a cliquish circle jerk that flatters those in the know and leaves neophytes little to mull over.
New York Post - 4/10 by V.A. MusettoSurfing devotees might be impressed, but other viewers will be left wondering what all the fuss is about.
