I really liked this film. I have never heard if these guys, so it was awesome. Its got a lot if testosterone; too much sometimes. In some ways, they are very immature. I have known death far too well, and death knows me. I grew up in a much different environment. Still, this is a must see film.
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!

Awesome, this movie pulled me in like one of the big waves in the movie and held me until the end.
Was lucky enough to grow up in California and lived 2 years in Australia where I feel in love with surfing. Surfing is a beautiful, soulful experience more than any other sport I've played and this film captures this. But most of all it tells a wonderful story of a once in a generation group of guys who came together in their teens and changed surfing and became the best in the world. Most of it all it tells the story of friendship and how surfing saved them all from the broken life that could have befallen them if they didn't find this wonderful sport. Wonderful documentary for everyone ur regardless if you know anything about the sport. Watch it today!
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.
