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.
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.
Was reminiscing about old surfer movies like Big Wednesday, Endless Summer and others. This popped up and wow what a deep, painfully yet pleasant transparent look into the human soul it turned out to be. Huge thank you to everyone who put this together and allowed this honest look into the sport snd your lives, and friendships.

I came to see hot guys surf big waves, left with renewed motivation, inspiration, and faith in humanity.
This was the most captivating documentary I have ever seen. Never a dull moment, lots of feels, lots of realness. It was fascinating watching these guys grow as human beings. Such a beautiful true story about hope, loss, struggle, success, failure, and finding oneself.
This doc/film was so perfect, my biggest problem with it was the music they played at the end for the credits. I would have much more appreciated some Pennywise or Unwritten Law. So that's why I had to come here, rate it 10/10 and write this review.

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!
