Hot Surf (1998)
Approx. 30 minutes
Head to the 1998 Oxbow World Masters Surfing Championships in Mexico, a prestigious event that attracted some of the best surfers from around the globe. While this contest was an honor for the 24 invited surfers, it was a challenge to them as well. The grinding warm-water barrels at Puerto weren't interested in reputations. Surfers must battle both the waves and each other in a high-stakes competition that tests their skills, strategy, and mental fortitude.
See some of the sport's greatest, including Nat Young, Reno Abellira, and Cheyne Horan! Each competitor faces the daunting waves with a mix of determination and respect for the ocean. The film intricately documents the highs and lows of competition—highlighting the camaraderie between surfers, the adrenaline-fueled moments right before a heat begins, and the fierce focus required to succeed in such a demanding environment.
In addition to the stunning surfing action, "Hot Surf" delves into the surf lifestyle of the late '90s. Audiences will see glimpses of the vibrant social scene surrounding the event, with beach parties, local cuisine, and the joy of shared experiences among surf enthusiasts. The film captures the spirit of adventure that permeates the surfing community, showcasing the passion that drives surfers to travel around the world in search of ideal conditions.
The documentary also discusses the evolution of surfing as a sport, celebrating its roots while looking forward to the future. Overall, "Hot Surf" is an exhilarating ride filled with breathtaking surf sequences, personal stories of triumph and tribulation, and a deep appreciation for the culture that surrounds this beloved sport.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
