The film follows the surf and skateboarding trends that originated in Venice, California during the 1970s.

When a reporter too laid-back for his own good is told his last chance to keep his job is to get some good photos for a story on skateboarding, he seeks out a group of four boarders who agree to take him on a skateboarding tour of California. After showing extensive footage of skateboarding moves and tricks, the film then goes on to show some surfing and snowboarding. The film is also bookended by a pair of animated shorts, both about skateboard racing.

A stunningly photographed celebration of the beauty and joy of surfing. Many of the world's best surfers of the 1970's take on the best waves of California, France, Peru, and Hawaii.
