Movies that feel like Riding Giants (2004)
Riding Giants is story about big wave surfers who have become heroes and legends in their sport. Directed by the skateboard guru Stacy Peralta.
If you loved Riding Giants, the closest films we have are Dogtown and Z-Boys (2002), Hands on a Hardbody: The Documentary (1997) and We Live in Public (2009). All three share Riding Giants' contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Dog (2013).

If Riding Giants hit the spot, these will too
The same hand behind both of them: Stacy Peralta
Both lean on stillness more than on documentary
Documentary with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
Contemplative documentary in both cases
Cut from the same documentary cloth
Both working the same documentary territory
Documentary in the same key
The scrappier of the two with critics
Both are documentary through and through
Documentary approached the same way
Both play documentary straight
Both know what they want from documentary
The documentary is handled with the same confidence
