Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Steve Fagan spent five years chasing swells because you can't schedule perfection—some locations only produce rideable giants a few days per year.

Cultural

The film captures pre-Instagram surf culture, when finding secret spots meant actual secrecy, not geotagged posts.
