“Jeff and Michael Zimbalist are behind the feature, filmed over multiple years, that follows the world’s biggest surfers — Shane Dorian, Taylor Knox, Rob Machado, Pat O’Connell, Kalani Robb, Kelly Slater, Taylor Steele, Benji Weatherley and Ross Williams — as they reflect on the complexity of their brotherhood and competition that has shaped their journeys.”
The documentary covers the rise of the young surfers as they crash in a small house owned by a friend, giving them the freedom to pursue their shared passion.
Interestingly, a Rolling Stone review of the film quotes pro surfer, writer, film director and owner of the famous surf shack Benji Weatherley on the film’s importance to non-surfers:
“If you have an amazing group of people that are humble and grounded with the same goal in mind,” he says, “you can achieve anything.”
