G-LAND PRO, a documentary revolving around an ASP world surfing tour event
that was held in an isolated area in Indonesia in 1995.
The film was created by Seth Elmer and Doug Silva.
Featured in this clip are top international surfers;
eleven-time world champion
Kelly Slater (who won the event), Tom Carroll, Jeff Booth, Shane Dorian, Rob Machado, Shane Beschen, Derek Ho, Pat O' Connell, John "Shmoo" Shimooka.
Surfer Magazine calls Quiksilvers G-Land Java Pro
"The greatest ASP contest ever . . .".
Surfing Magazine says,
"More than a contest, more than a surf trip,
the Quiksilver Pro redefined professional surfing . . ."
Witness a select group of the worlds greatest surfers
in some of the best contest waves ever ridden.
Kelly Slaters switch stance tube has to be seen to be believed. Incredible photography from the water, jet skis, and helicopters.
In 1995, the Billabong Challenge introduced the idea of two-week waiting period that put a premium on running events in quality waves. That same year, Quiksilver dared to host an event at the reef point perfection of Indonesia's G-Land. With the G-land Quiksilver Pro, the precedent of a contest driven primarily by wave quality, whether large audiences could physically access the venue or not, was established. This single event put the "bums on the beach" mentality squarely into question.
G-land may have been an anomaly if it weren't for a little thing called the Internet, and more specifically, webcasting.
