The New York Times’ Elvis Mitchell:
“The insanely gorgeous competition documentary on surfing obsession, Step Into Liquid — directed by Dana Brown and photographed by John-Paul Beeghly in hypnotic gradations of aquamarine — will send you into a dream state.” May 7, 2003

The New York Daily News’ Elizabeth Weitzman:
“'Visually spectacular and filled with fascinating characters, Step into Liquid is actually...spiritual. For any New Yorker who dreams of escaping our city’s crowded concrete, Dana Brown’s Step Into Liquid is the perfect fantasy.” May 8, 2003

IndieWire’s Wendy Mitchell:
“No doubt the buzz documentary of the festival [Tribeca Film Festival May ‘03] was Dana Brown's surfing film, Step Into Liquid. The film's graceful and stunning high-def shots transported viewers to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world….” May 14, 2003

Surfing Magazine’s Evan Slater:
“Being a surfer never felt so good” February 2003

Daily Variety's Scott Foundas:

This is definitely a keeper. It's worth the price just to see them surfing those 60 foot waves on the Cortez Bank . . .

The Special Features contain as much footage as the film itself. And it comes with a CD-ROM with some kewl stuff on it.

Surfing in Wisconsin and in the Houston Ship Channel! Who knew?

There is a very busy oilfield supply port in Louisiana called Port Fourchon (pronounced "foo-shon"), where there is a short run up a bayou from the jetties to the port. They used to allow crewboats to make the run hooked up (full speed). Crewboats drag a HUGE wake, and it was common to see surfers inside the pass riding the wakes.

It's very shallow off the beach in Louisiana until you are 10-12 miles out, so there is very little break on the beach. The surfers lost the only spot around to surf when the port authority began enforcing "idle speed only" inside the jetties.
