    The Ultimate Wave Tahiti - IMAX 3D

    On a slightly different tack, I just saw this at our local IMAX. It features surfing by Kelly Slater, but also contains a good bit of educational material on geography, oceanography, Hawaiian surfing history, and the Polynesian culture. The picture was fantastic, and there were times when it appeared you could literally reach out and grab a fish from the school swimming right by you! (The girls in bikinis on their surfboards cruising by you weren't too bad either...)

    Of course, the sound system was amazing, and the Polynesian music really jammed, with lots of drumming that gave the subwoofers a workout. I was expecting more of a surf focus and an slightly older crowd, but given the IMAX theater is connected to the Museum of Discovery and Science, there were a lot of kids present. Turned out to be appropriate for all audiences, and in addition to being visually and audibly impressive, it was also quite educational.

    Fantastic! Thanks for the heads up. Personally, I found surfing in Tahiti to be more life threatening than fun. However, love to watch others with more skill doing it. In 3D, great.

      Cool, thanks. I really like getting demo-type DVD's like that. Tahiti and/or Fiji are on my VERY short list of dream vacation spots, that I haven't been able to get to yet. So I might pick this one up for the visual splendor, not really the surfing. I see it's available as a 3D Blu-Ray on Amazon. I haven't bought one of those yet, so I don't know if those discs are viewable if you don't have 3D technology. (I don't have 3D equipment)

      Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.
