The second BILLABONG CHALLENGE continued the pursuit of great surfing waves. Held in massive surf on the last day of the 10 day waiting period at one of the world's most perfect rights, Jeffrey's Bay South Africa. Top international surfers battled the rising swell for US $50,000:00; challenging each other, the awesome forces of the sea and their own personal stamina. Featuring the surfing of Kelly Slater, Mark Occhilupo, Warren Dean, Brenden Margieson, Johnny Boy Gomes and Shane Powell.
Before there was Momentum, Taylor Steele released ONE STEP BEYOND (1991). This was the follow-up to his high school project Seaside, filmed entirely at Seaside in Cardiff...so the natural progression was to go "one step beyond." The film features his first section-based edits and his first full section with a young Kelly Slater. Also of note are sections with Tom Curren, Brad Gerlach and Johnny Boy Gomes, as well as a classic wipeouts compilation.
