Hands down the most heart felt journey I've seen in a while, with sick Skim Boarding footage that has never been seen with such vibrant colors, cinematography & focus, energy & a musical score that brings you into the skim culture beautifully.
Skim boarding is an art form, done as a dance with the ocean waves in such a way that makes you feel like you are right there on the beach, with the sand in your toes & breathing in the salty air.
If you've never experienced skim boarding or if it's a part of your life, this will light you up in ways you didn't know were dark.
This is the heart of our hero's journey that keeps you engaged from the beginning.

For a young filmmaker to write, direct, edit and star in his own film at such a young age with a small budget is an incredible feat. Jadon Cal is a promising talent and filmmaker.
This film has loads of heart and some great performances. I believe the actor who played Brent, David Hamzik, is a future great. Every scene he is in is so alive. You can't take your eyes off him.
You can't help but feel for the main character, Chris, who seems to be living in a deteriorating world. He is losing people to drugs, but his love for skim boarding and protecting his little brother gives him purpose.
The film does a great job settling into itself and transporting you to this little Florida town.

This movie made me tear up and get emotional at least three times all thanks to Jadon's incredible acting chops. There are so many funny lines and hilarious moments throughout the film. The intense moments had me gripping my seat. The cinematography really pulled me into the film with so many beautiful shots and imagery. The subject and themes are all relatable and I connected with so many of the characters and found myself rooting for them. This movie has a beautiful message and reminded me what's important in life. I was so impressed by the acting from the entire cast and I can't wait to see them all in future projects.
Phenomenal film! I can't remember watching a film recently that has made me feel as much as I have watching this. I loved the story, and the visuals were amazing! Literally felt like I was in the world with the characters! So glad to see personal stories being told with beautiful lessons on life, love, and family, without it being sugarcoated but showing the real struggles and pressures people are going through. Such an amazing job by the cast and crew! The chemistry was incredible and the acting was superb! The film finished and I wanted to see more of these characters! Maybe a show? 👀! But I love it all together. Phenomenal job by everyone involved!

Jadon is a good friend of mine and I went to initially support him. Wasn't looking forward to sitting through a cheesy skim boarding film to be honest(which was absolutely not)haha. As a surfer I do respect all water sports and skimming is definitely not easy. I wanted to support Jadon anyway I can. I was very surprised the movie had a deeper meaning to it. It was really good!! Pulled some heart strings and even shed a few tears. Dog town and z boys but skim boarding. The core of the movie was about family and overcoming challenges. Never losing heart and standing up for what's right. I loved it and will be recommending the movie to friends and family. The producers, cast, and crew were all incredible and it was really great meeting everyone at the premiere. Very talented and genuine individuals.
