This was one of the best docs I've ever seen--if not the best. It's other-worldy visual stimulation (only surfing can provide:) combined with its heart and soul make it a perfect film. I cried like a baby. I usually don't review anything but I looked at one review and it was negative. I cannot imagine a human not appreciating the excellence and humanity interwoven here--so true to life. Any review below 5 on this is an internet hit job from a jealous competitor--lacking excellence and humanity. You'd have to be evil to not be moved by this film, this life.
