Description

Opening with a two-minute animation recapitulating the first 1000 years of surfing history, Riding Giants goes on to summarize the story of the big wave riding. Interviews with legendary big wave surfers, at celebrated breaks from Hawaii's North Shore to California's Mavericks, help explain how surfing became not just a hobby, but a culture and way of life. Viewers without any interest in surfing will come away with a greater appreciation for the sport, and a better understanding of what drives those who have given their lives to it.
