Ultimate Sessions - Opper Sports Productions

The greatest moments in surf movie history...
Ultimate Sessions is a collection of ten historical surf sessions from the most celebrated surf films of the last 30 years. Beginning with Hal Jepsen’s first film, Cosmic Children, and culminating with scenes from Jack Johnson’s award-winning September Sessions, Opper and writer Matt Warshaw (Encyclopaedia of Surfing) searched through three decades of surf cinema to create a collection of the best surfing moments ever caught on film.
"Ultimate Sessions is an anthology of the evolution of both the surf film and surfing itself," said Opper. "I would like the audience to leave the theatre experiencing the sports most incredible sessions from the shortboard revolution to the end of the 20th Century."
In addition to original footage from such films as Morning of the Earth and Free Ride, recent interviews of the featured surfers and filmmakers provide viewers a behind the scenes back story to these "ultimate sessions."
