Blew me away, and I'm not really a surf fan! But the spiritual intensity of something like surf cannot be denied after watching this short film. Very compelling and intense in the feeling of "something" inside us that drives us to the ocean, in a search for identity, for understanding, and for creating a inner connection with everything that surrounds us.
Ocean Monk talks about the modern monks of today's world, who no longer dwell in caves or monasteries living harsh and secluded lives, but rather live in cities like New York, and have regular jobs and homes, whilst mastering the art of self-knowing and self-transendence in activities such as surfing. A piece of art for the enthusiasts of surfing...(and not)

Classic movie for all surfers out there who do it tough searching for waves. It also has a nice spiritual side to it which most surfers can identify with. The short film is set in New York City and the nearby ocean vista.
The movie looks at monks who surf, they are students of the late Spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy and it looks at there forthcoming relationship with the ocean and meditation. It has been on at heaps of surf festivals which shows how good it is. First time director Sanjay Rawal had his next big project on at Tribecca so he has some talent to scenically capture moments on film.
