The essence of surfing is an elusive ideal. Part sport, part state-of-mind; an avenue for self-expression, a metaphor for freedom; a ritual, a competitive event, a dangerous journey, a dance. Nature supplies the power, and with the proper balance of respect and resistance, we enjoy the ride. From the North Shore of Oahu to the end of the road in Tahiti. From Australia to California, from Florida to France, the world’s greatest surfers share their insights, and show us how and why it’s done. Their skill and the thrill of the experience, are captured as never before. What is the secret to surfing’s global appeal? The answer is revealed by Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Kalani Robb and Joel Parkinson, in their own voices. Captured entirely on film and high definition.
