One Track Mind is definitely a must see for any surfer who is fascinated with what the pros are thinking on the World Tour. Woodshed Films created this 36 minute long film to get inside the minds of guys like Andy Irons, Mark Occhilupo, and Kelly Slater. This film explores both the technical aspects of the sport and the mindset of competitive surfers when on Tour. Interviews, surf footage, and an awesome soundtrack help this film become informative and intriguing to its audience.  This is an effective film because it informs those interested in the influences of Slater on the other guys on tour, experiences from all the pros who were interviewed, and what it’s like to constantly be in competition with each other. They talk about things like fin systems, the different boards they use, and crazy memories they have about one another. Shot on 16mm, the video flips between black-and-white images of the interviewed pros giving details about their lives and insane surf maneuvers being performed on beautiful waves. This visual technique stimulates and holds the interest of its viewing audience by rapidly changing the topic, as well as showing clips of surfers out on the water performing tricks and using equipment that relate to what the pros are talking about. This helps the audience visualize tricks, styles, and methods that are being discussed throughout the film. One Track Mind is a great film that can be watched over and over!
