Unnotable film. Fails WP:NF. Prodded by one editor with note of "no evidence of notability - not even released" - prod removed by article creator without note. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 07:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

• Keep Film debuted in 2008 and had premire in 2009. Though not of interest to many, film has genre sports notability, and documents a widely covered and notable sporting event. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 21:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

::Please demonstrate actual notability. Article currently does not show any. A few sources confirming its existence were added, not anything that gave it significant coverage. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:48, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

• Keep There seem to be a lot of reviews about it, among those interested in this sort of film. [http://www.surfersvillage.com/surfing/40938/news.htm Surfers Village did a detailed review of it.] Dream Focus 04:15, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. While the RS are not, at present, much to write home about, WP:NF's "Other evidence of notability" states that "Some films that don't pass the above tests may still be notable, and should be evaluated on their own merits," with one being that "The film features significant involvement (ie. one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person." Dana Brown, the filmmaker, was also the director of the landmark Step into Liquid and is one of the biggest names in surf filmmaking. Shawn in Montreal (talk)
