Summary: Simply Spectacular!
Review: I loved Hawaiian Dreams. But with the spectacular cliffs, distant fog horns, and diverse California scenery, this is a very close second. However, if you enjoy watching birds, this video is definately the choice for you. The seagulls look like they're about to eat out of your hand! Luckily, they won't leave a mess on your carpet!%#!

Summary: THE BEST STRESS BUSTER EVER!!!!
Review: I really love this! It is so relaxing and calming. The scenes are just breathtaking and you are mesmerized by their beauty.
As an unexpected treat, my cats love it too! They try sooo hard to get the birds and one cat will sit and watch it for hours!
I enjoy just letting it play in the background as I am working, such a wonderful sight when I look away from my computer screen for a moment. Total joy, I can't recomend this enough!

Summary: It is a wonderful nature video- peaceful and beautiful.
Review: I've watched it 10-12 times! It's very very relaxing to watch and listen to... with just the sounds of ocean waves lapping on the beach without any music. It sure works for me. I've bought several copies including California Dreams for my friends as gifts. I love it! It's great stress relief especially during the holidays.

Summary: Very Calming and Hypnotic
Review: The Waves Virtual Vacation series is perfect for anyone who has spent or always wanted to have spent time in these environments, re-living the sound of the crashing surf, the distant fog horns, the local wildlife, and the grandeur of the sunrise and sunset. There is something very calming and hypnotic about these digital diversions -- a great escape from work, the family, and the daily stressors and anxieties of life. Whether you're meditating, having trouble falling asleep, or just closing your eyes to relax, you'll find yourself carried away to another time and place just long enough to make a difference.

Summary: Californian Dreams / WAVES: Virtual Vacations For Relaxation
Review: These videos are totally awesome. I have wanted to be home by the ocean again, and enjoy the beauty and peace of the sea, but life has not permitted it at this time. I have found the closest thing tho now. What a blessing!
I have bought three of these videos, and there is no favorite one. I suggest you get them all. They are so relaxing, you can almost smell the salt air.
If you want to relax, enjoy beautiful ocean scenery, seagulls, sand and surf, these are the best!!
You will not be disappointed.
Believe me I have prayed that I could find something to get rid of the stresses living in the city, and to just relax by the ocean shore, and now I have my answer. These video's take you to the most beautiful shores, where you can sit back, read, or listen to your favorite music, and not have to shake off the sand.
A beautiful work of art, this man has captured the beauty of nature.
So if you want to relax and enjoy~
I highly recommend WAVES!!

Summary: Californian Dreams Waves
Review: This dvd California Dreams is so relaxing.Day 1 starts with San Francisco overlooking the golden gate bridge with lapping waves and a distant foghorn.Although distant this foghorn is loud enough to here thru a tv.Day 2 Monterey features huge waves and pounding surf.Waves form before other waves break.Day 3 Big Sur features waves almost as big as Montereys and numourous sea gulls.These gulls seem like they surround you and when they fly it looks like they could fly out of the tv.Day 4 Santa Barbara features mostely lapping waves but at the start you see a sky diver flying over the sea.Day 5 Santa Montica has some large waves to start with but at sunset it ends with lappers.Also I was surprised to see what appeared to be a fair with a farris wheel spinning next to the ocean.Day 6 San Diego has some pretty impressive waves to start off with but at sunset it ends with quiet lappers.The picture quality on this disc is sharp and crisp and the sound is great.I actually liked this one better than Hawaiian Dreams for three reasons.This has bigger waves,foghorns,and the San Francisco Bridge.However;if you like ocean waves you should get Hawaiian Dreams to compliment this one.Californian Dreams is one dvd you should add to your dvd collection.

I highly recommend the Caribbean,Virgin Island and Bahama waves dvds to go with the California and Hawaiia ones.Even though I haven't seen these yet I have seen some photo shots of the dvd shoot at powerfloe.com and they look breathtaking.I can't wait to get these.Greg is the first one to do one of the Caribbean,Bahamas and Virgin Islands.These will be great for people that will never be able to get to these spots.

Summary: Nice scenes - disjointed presentation format
Review: This DVD does have some nice scenes, however single scenes sometimes stay on for as long as three minutes. For example, the opening scene is looking at the Golden Gate Bridge from a walking birds eye view on the beach - for three minutes. The waves are only about 3 inches high. And I really don't need a flock of seaguls walking up and looking into the camera.

The biggist problem is that the DVD is divided into seven separate "days," with the same redundant view of palm trees followed by very annoying computer graphics rolling into view at the beginning of each new section. It is guaranteed to wake you up and annoy you if you were starting to relax. And almost all of it was shot from the same very low point of view, withought ever giving you a real perspective on the scenery.
