incredible
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!

It pulls you in
Awesome, this movie pulled me in like one of the big waves in the movie and held me until the end.
Moving, Mesmerizing, Beautiful!
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!
Inspirational documentary
A really enjoyable documentary that recounts the progression of a group of friends, from kids having fun to legends in the sport of surfing.
And to the reviewer who was disappointed about the music in the closing credits: That is Jack Johnson, one of the surfers featured in the film, who also happened to become a world famous musician.

I came to see hot guys surf big waves, left with renewed motivation, inspiration, and faith in humanity.
This was the most captivating documentary I have ever seen. Never a dull moment, lots of feels, lots of realness. It was fascinating watching these guys grow as human beings. Such a beautiful true story about hope, loss, struggle, success, failure, and finding oneself.
This doc/film was so perfect, my biggest problem with it was the music they played at the end for the credits. I would have much more appreciated some Pennywise or Unwritten Law. So that's why I had to come here, rate it 10/10 and write this review.
