Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
This colorful surfing documentary catches the waves from California to Hawaii as participants continue their endless search for the perfect wave. The surfers reveal their motivation and obsession with the sport that appears to be the highlight of their lives. Ecological concerns becomes more evident among surfers, but a disturbing trend of intolerance towards non surfers encroaching on their "territory" coincides. Imaginary lines are drawn between surfers and non-surfers. Moog synthesizer inventors Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause provide the soundtrack music along with Sky Oats, Colorado Purple Gang, Ashish Khan, Pranesh Kahn, Zakir Hussain, and David Crosby.
