Geração Momentum

I have never watched anything to do with surfing, but this documentary was very captivating. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and truly felt the sense of family between these guys. It was incredible. Thank you!

The hurried pace of this documentary made it seem much shorter than it actually was, in a good way. Seeing surfing through the eyes of these legends, while peaking behind the curtain a bit was truly satisfying. If you even have a pacing fancy for the sport, you need to check it out.

This is a truly extraordinary, deeply moving film. It beautifully portrays the intertwined paths that these young surfers take from innocent, playful (and of course mischievous) childhood to adulthood and deeper wisdom and truth. It leaves you realizing how the chaos of reality, when distilled to its essence by a creative soul, can be shaped into stories that far exceed fiction in their power and depth. The film portrays universal human experiences that revolve around but transcend surfing: triumphs that give you chills, friendships that define the true meaning of the term, follies that make you laugh out loud, tragedies and life lessons that bring tears to your eyes. If you're already a surfer, it will touch your heart in ways that you already understand on multiple levels. If you're not, it will make you want to experience the beauty of it. But above all, if you're alive in the modern world, it offers an inspirational and spiritually enlightening allegory for how to save your soul in a world that is far too obsessed with commercialism, competition, money, and material success. It's as cleansing as duck-diving through a sparkling wave and paddling out for a sunlit session of endless barrels (your eyes may be equally moist before it's over..). A spectacular, heartwarming achievement that enriches its viewers beyond words. Standing ovation!

I've seen many documentaries and a few surf movies, but with so much archive footage, current interviews of the subjects, a serendipitous gathering, and a well done narrative, this was the best documentary I've ever seen. Granted, I'm a sports fan and did slightly follow surfing in the 90's, but even the wife was intrigued and watched with interest.

Awesome, this movie pulled me in like one of the big waves in the movie and held me until the end.
