The essence of surfing is an elusive ideal. Part sport, part state-of-mind; an avenue for self-expression, a metaphor for freedom; a ritual, a competitive event, a dangerous journey, a dance. Nature supplies the power, and with the proper balance of respect and resistance, we enjoy the ride.
From the North Shore of Oahu, to the end of the road in Tahiti. From Australia to California, from Florida to France, the world’s greatest surfers share their insights, and show us why it’s done. Their skill and the thrill of the experience are captured as never before in this documentary. And what is the secret to surfing’s appeal? The answer lies through the voices of four surfers from four influential areas of the sport - Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Kalani Robb and Joel Parkinson in Down the Barrel.
