About:
The behind-the-scenes story of a close-knit group of surfing legends.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a group of teenage surfers lived together in the North Shore of Oahu, near the legendary Pipeline. Before too long, their number – including Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Kalani Robb, Taylor Steele, and others – would become synonymous with the sport. Providing access to a lifetime’s worth of personal archives, these iconic athletes share their story of friendship-fueled competitiveness that put them all on the world map. While at times tending to get lost in anecdotes and insider stories, the film successfully captures the group’s youthful optimism and closeness.
