Outtakes Online: ‘Point Break’ films on Maui honolulupulse/2014/01/outtakes-online-point-break-films-on-maui/ - The 50-foot swell that smashed Oahu’s North Shore was unruly, but conditions at Jaws were perfect for director Ericson Core, who is filming a new version of the 1991 cult classic, “Point Break.” A team of stunt surfers caught five-story-tall waves as a helicopter with a camera dropped in close enough to get salt spray on its lens. David Valdes, a producer on the film, said a team of expert forecasters had been tracking winter swells for the film since October in Ireland, France, Portugal, Spain and Hawaii. They wanted a location that could double for Cortes Bank, 100 miles west of San Diego, where waves break in the middle of the ocean.
