:: IMAX 3D Ultimate Wave Tahiti - Kelly Slater ::


Last Sunday night, after watching Canada win its final Olympic hockey game, my buddy called me up telling me about a new Imax 3D movie premiering at the science center that very night to which he had tickets.
This movie was AMAZING...
Being a surfer and getting to watch a surfing movie on an Imax screen is already very Rad, but to have that movie be in 3D was the cherry on top!
Montreal based filmmaker Stephen Low, know for his large format Imax films, keeps to push the envelope with this latest 3D creation. 
Shot in the French Polynesian Island of Tahiti, home of some of the most gnarly surfing waves on the earth, this movie follows Kelly Slater (9 time surfing world champ) accompanied by Tahitian Surfer Raimana Van Bastolae ripping it on massive waves the region of Teahupoo is known for.
The movie also encompasses some very well animated history of the Island, as well as some interesting facts about the science behind surfing which makes it great for those 20-something year old, young at heart parents who also want to bring their kids.
Definitely go check it out, it is totally worth it.
