Film Summary
Two gay surfers unite to uncover the taboo of homosexuality in surfing. Together they embark on a global journey from the east coast of Australia to Hawaii, California, Mexico and the Galapagos Islands to speak with people from all corners of the surfing community about an aspect of surf culture that has largely remained hidden. As their journey unfolds, they uncover a culture of fear, secrecy and exclusion but are inspired to affect change by connecting people, provoking discussion and looking to the sport’s grassroots values of freedom of spirit and love for the ocean.
