Assembled by the Survivor team, this weekly reality series would seem to have been inspired by the popular 2002 surfing film Blue Crush. Taped in Oahu, the series brought together seven attractive young women and men as they lived together and trained together for Hawaii's Vans Triple Crown Surfing Contest. Among those present were the contest's past and present champ, a swimwear model, and the co-founder of International Women's Surfing. As often happens in shows of this nature, the participants soon broke down into stereotypes: the "serious" one, the "scary" one, the "party animal," et al. Running six episodes, Boarding House: North Shore first aired on June 18, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Marshall K. Hatori is a filmmaker and surfing enthusiast who is a big fan of the work of pioneering surfing documentarians Greg MacGillivray and Bruce Brown. Hatori is also a man who is studying a number of spiritual disciplines, and in his documentary Imagine: Surfing As Sadhana, he examines wave riding as a sport, as a leisure activity that has (unwittingly) spawned a multi-million dollar industry, and as a means of following one's own path to inner peace ("Sadhana" is a Hindi word that refers to a state of enlightenment). However, while Hatori sees surfing -- and the making of this film -- as a means of reaching a higher plane, his crew and the surfers he's brought along for a trip to some of the world's most spectacular surf spots (including Christian Enns, Stephen Slater, and Veronica Kay) seem to have a narrower view of the sport, which leads to some conflicts between Hatori and his collaborators. Along the way, Hatori also visits spiritual leaders in India, a vegetarian farmer in Australia, and explores the beauty and the poverty of Sri Lanka. Imagine: Surfing As Sadhana was shown in competition at the 2001 Dances With Films Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
