What it means to grow up near the surf, become the surf, live the surf
On the wild, lonely coast of Western Australia, two thrillseeking teengaers adolescent boys fall into the enigmatic thrall of veteran surfer Sando. Together they form an odd but elite trio. The grown man initiates the boys into a regimen of risk and challenge, where they test themselves in storm swells on remote and shark-infested reefs, pushing each other to the edges of endurance, courage, and sanity. But where is all this heading? Why is their mentor’s past such forbidden territory?
