This documentary film is about two surfers and their friend [the narrator, writer, and director] who take a trip around the world following the summer season. They start in California, head to Africa, around to Cape, to Australia, then finally to Hawaii.It is a really fun story; encountering natives in Ghana, surfers in South Africa, wildlife across Australia, and beautiful beaches in Hawaii. It brilliantly captures a lifestyle and time in American history which I feel has been dead for a while.
The problem I have is that I wanted more story and less surfing. It is in essence a surfing film, and documents their travels, and there is a lot of surfing in the film. I like watching surfing and all, but it had some lull points. The overall film is pretty short and I don't see many surfing point they could have cut, mainly because it showcased all the different beaches they visited.
Worth a watch but not a repeat viewing, which drops it to a 7 instead of an 8.
