Do not be fooled. This thrilling documentary is not only a surfer’s nirvana; it takes us on a quest for the supreme pleasure, ideal shape, and mind-blowing experience of being chased by a mountain of water. We meet the intrepidly likeable surf gods: unmistakable Greg Noll who was the first to take on the 60ft North Shore waves; Jeff Clark, who surfed the hazardous Mavericks alone for 15 years; and legend of the moment, Laird Hamilton, who continues to push the boundaries of surfing. With fascinating archive footage showing the history of the sport, including its pop-cultural boom, this film delves deep within the psyche of an extreme sport athlete. It offers an insight into the fear, adrenaline, and single-minded pursuit of conquering the gut-wrenching vertical drops of a monster swell.
