The opening moments of "Psyche Out" introduce a young boy who craves the adventures achieved in the surf. The boy -- or at least his dreams -- seem like they could provide a recurring framing device for Walt Phillips' third film (following "Sunset Surf Craze" and "Surf Mania"), but that's the last we see of the boy or hear of ambitions. "Psyche Out" contains less poetic musing, travelogue, comic relief or similar stuff characteristic of surf films of the time, in favor of surf action at Malibu, Point Zero, Rincon and Steamer Lane. This is to the benefit of the film.

In 2001 Woodshed Films released their third Moonshine Experiment surf movie entitled “Shelter.” With a similar style and feel to the first two Moonshine Experiments, “Thicker Than Water” and “September Sessions”, “Shelter” is one of Taylor Steele and Chris Malloy’s best productions. This surf movie does a great job of staying far away from the politics of surfing and focuses more on soul surfing. However, don’t think that there aren’t any surfers worth watching in this movie because there are plenty. “Shelter” is jam packed with professional and well-known surfers such as Rob Machado, Taylor Knox, Joel Tudor, Mick Fanning, Dean Morrison, Jack Johnson, The Malloy’s, Kelly Slater, Nat Young, Donavon Frankenreiter, Shane Dorian, Jon Swift and many more. The soundtrack for “Shelter” is similar to “Thicker Than Water” and “September Sessions”. It has a slower and mellower feel, featuring artists such as Mason Jennings, The Shins, White Buffalo and even surfers Jon Swift and Rob Machado.

Les gens qui vivent pour des moments intenses de la vie consacrent toute leur existence à leur passion. Ils cherchent le moment parfit, celui qui rassemble tous les éléments de la course parfaite, les limites à dépasser, le moment où tout est surréaliste, comme arrêté dans le temps. Attendre une bonne vague, le bon vent ou la neige parfaite peut durer quelques jours ou tout un hiver. Les caprices de la nature font à la fois son charme et ses cauchemar, mais quand le bon moment arrive, il faut être prêt. Être au bon endroit au bon moment est la récompense pour ce qui passent leur vie pour cet instant planant mais éphémère. Perfect Moment représente le meilleur film de glisse jusqu'à présent et il va même plus loin. C'est déjà un film de référence dans lequel Marco Siffredi apparaît, juste avant de disparaître dans l'Everest. Proche de l'Homme et de la Nature, Perfect Moment est une expérience à ne pas manquer.
