Drive Thru California (2002). Number 1. in the series & a nice intro to the knockabout gonzo style of the series. Features several secret spots up & down America’s west coast, a wonderful deteriorating bitterness from Tim Curran as he realises that campervan living is basically a prison hell, a surprise showing by The Machado, excellent buffoonery by Shawn Barny Barron, & great tunes from Death on Wednesday & The Dead Kennedys.

Drive Thru Japan (2003). Number 2. Unlike some others DT-J has a generous running time at 60mins & some funny lines from Benji trying out karaoke in the dorm, ultra smooth surfing from Machado on some serious waves, bemused locals & l will be eternally grateful to the Drive Thru gang for introducing me to the brilliant sounds of Shonen Knife & The Dwarves.

Drive Thru Australia (2004). Number 3. & one of my favourites not least because for once l can defeat the DT team’s insistence on not naming the secret spots on film because I’ve been to some of ‘em! This film features a fantastic sequence with sadly-departed croc-meister Steve Irwin at his Australia Zoo (checkout the angry wombat - a magic moment), the pathos of unintentionally amusing, hernia-suffering, head-banging Margo, stunning surf & great music from Pennywise, Postal Service, AFI, The Hoodoo Gurus & The White Stripes.

Drive Thru Europe (2005). Number 4. & not bad. Worth it just for seeing surf superstar Kelly Slater slumming it in the campervan with the rest of the guys. This one works well if u thought there were no waves in Italy, France & Portugal. Nice revealing moment from Pat O as he exhorts viewers to come look at a steeply-cobbled street in a tiny Euro seaside town: he calls it “Disneyland”. Tetchy rivalry between Pat O & Slater as they battle to be first to surf under a pier. Ry Craike’s accent is pure Aussie. Brilliant tunes from two bands that were totally new to me: Sweden’s The Sounds & California’s own Yovee.

Drive Thru South Africa (2006). Number 6. & a beaut as they say Down Unda. This is a great example of how to film a 2-week road trip. Chaotic travel arrangements, a hilarious race on Ostrich back (complete with trampled riders), a genuine close shave with a shark, Pottsy getting annoyed with the younger surfers’ tardiness, the scariest bungee jump I’ve ever seen & laughs galore as each & every pro surfer struggles & fails miserably on a wickedly difficult indoor wave machine. The cameraderie of a surfari really comes through on this one. Great tunes from Damian Marley & er, Toto.

Drive Thru South & Central America (2004). Number 5. OK but it feels like you’re getting short-changed on the running time - yes l know that’s hypocritical when I’ve only just mentioned how ‘blissfully under-length’ these films are, but 48 mins of action is miserly. Great artwork & titles & superb footage of some really out-of-the-way secret spots in Panama, superb hang-gliding in Brazil but someone needs to tell Kalani he’s not funny. Excellent sounds from Yovee - Private Caller remains my favourite track out of the whole 7.

Drive Thru Caribbean (2007?). Number 7. Again a sadly super-short running time of 37 minutes. Perhaps they should have combined it with Central America? Brilliant artwork & titles design. Great footage in Barbados & Jamaica: the accent of the old geezer, Billy Mystic, who acts as their guide is excellent; he’s quite touching when he talks about how Jamaica is known for being violent but hopes that maybe the DT team’s visit can show a fresh side of his troubled island. Great shots of the team doing stunts with dolphins & Kalani’s funny factor improves but is still sub zero. Lots of great tracks from Communique but unusually this one features a somewhat dull soundtrack. A poor showing.

Drive Thru New Zealand (2008). Number 8. Great scenery & great stuff from Occy showing off his songwriting skills with a homegrown Drive Thru band featuring Donnie on the organ & Pat O’ on guitar. Check out the gnarly tow-ins & the insane zorbing. Some of the coldest surfing yet seen on the series. Not a very varied soundtrack but great stuff new to me from Lemurs, Cut City & Los Campesinos. A good Drive Thru but the blokery verges into overload sometimes — how about some female surfers on the next Drive Thru . . ?

You might also want to check out Step Into Liquid, it has the latest surfing video with Dana Brown, yes he is related to that Endless Summer Bruce Brown.

haha yeah dude drive thru new zealand was probably my favorite, donovan is so funny throwing his clothes out the window haha and the zorbonat ball, looked so much fun. l feel bad for benji though, bustin his ass on that rock slide.

My fave has to be Laird Hamilton is DVD simply titled ''Laird''. Crazy footage of some hardcore tow-in surfing, and some of the sickest barrels ever ridden at Teahupoo. Definitely worth a look if you like watching the big wave surfers. Laird is one of the greatest big wave surfers ever, and possibly the most innovative.

endless summer

Watch step into liquid on a big LCD or plasma screen, with some surround sound turned all the way up, all the lights off, and a 12 pack. Or whatever your poison is. but that takes me right to paradise on evenings when l am not doing anything.

my all time favs

Pickled, Computer Body & Slater Black and white
