As a 'new comer' to the sport I found it to be at a level I could understand have empathy for and really want to succeed, Im cheering the surfers on. The people on the tour are at the same time hugely professional but also very real and human. This series really shows what it takes to be an elite athlete in a way I don't think I have ever seen.

Amazing!! Frothin for series2 oh my god.

An excellent behind the scenes experience showing the World Surfing League. The worlds best surfers travelling the world competing to be the best.

Pros - Excellent interviews with the surfers. A great insight into the life of a pro surfer. Amazing surf footage.

Cons - 80% of the show focuses on the men. Really disappointing not seeing more of the womens competition.

At the beginning of the documentary, they talk of the inequality in the sport. So it was a shock that the documentary under represented the women surfers. Very poor on their behalf.

Overall, I highly recommend this show for anyone who enjoy real life or sport docos. You don't need to be a fan of surfing to appreciate this show.

I binged watched this in one day. Completely hooked. Got a better insight into the surfers professional and personal lives. You want everyone to win. I'd love another series of this.

It offers some insight into the personal lives of the athletes but it paints surfing as a low key amateur sport rather than the elite level that these athletes actually are. The colour grade makes it look like a cheap child's tv show. The shots chosen are unimpressive and uncritical. Generally just a bad view into surfing. Very disappointing.

* Came back in 2023 to say that Season 2 is even better than Season 1!!! Brilliant episodes!!

Congrats Apple and WSL, show's great, each chapter with a different focus but at the same time following the order of the CT events.

The only thing I would do differently is to tone down or even turn off the "artificial" sound of waves... it gets annoying quick!
