After watching some amazing competition footage of "The Eddie" tonight, I am psyched to find some great surfing movies to watch. Here are some of surfing movies that the library has available for checkout.

“It’s funny.” I explained, then I clarified, “Well, it’s funny if you care.”

Check out Psych Season One, Psych Season Two, and Psych Season Three!
