    Action life story

    Brilliant story line and acting. We need to see more of these real life characters who learn from their mistakes and grow in real life situations. Acting is ahead of its time, and will inspire children and adults to become better versions of themselfves. These types of movies need to be promoted more to the youth, a truly south african success story. A movie about surfing, and overcoming difficulties life struggles, a touching story for old and young, that shows what south africa has to offer, as well as our beautiful people and country. This is a movie to be proud of, well done and do please do similar again.

    Very good

    "Die Pro" is an emotionally charged South African film that captures the essence of loss, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between friends. Directed by André Velts and based on Leon de Villiers' novel, the movie follows Tiaan, a young surfer navigating the aftermath of his best friend's tragic death. Through breathtaking surf sequences and deeply personal storytelling, Die Pro immerses viewers in the protagonist's grief, self-discovery, and determination to prove himself in the competitive surfing world. The film's cinematography is stunning, bringing the energy and beauty of the ocean to life while complementing the emotional weight of the story. Strong performances, especially from the young cast, add authenticity and heart, making every struggle feel real. Whether you're a fan of surfing or simply enjoy heartfelt dramas, Die Pro delivers a powerful narrative that resonates on an emotional level. It's an inspiring and beautifully crafted South African film worth watching.

    • Trivia
      Shooting at the set that served as 'Peet Se Pizzas' could only be done on Mondays, as it is a real, functional restaurant called 'Die Walskipper', and the crew had to dress and tear down the entire set twice for the restaurant to continue its normal operations.
