The essence of surfing is an elusive concept : Part extreme sport, part state-of-mind, the eternal conflict between man and nature. The viewer is transported on a thrilling joyride - a complete adrenaline rush, from near to death to the source of life. A magnificent trip, above and below the water, set on the beautiful coasts of Hawaii, Australia, California, Florida, Tahiti, Fiji, France, and Spain.  Absolutely breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
