Documentary examining the semi-Irish roots of today's worldwide surfing phenomenon. The film explores the little-known story of George Freeth, the son of an Irishman, who re-introduced the ancient Polynesian art of wave riding in Hawaii in the early 1900s after it had been stamped out by missionaries. By the time of his untimely death at the age of 35 he was renowned for his legendary skills as a surfer & lifeguard. The film also features footage of Irish & British surfers in action along with world champion Kelly Slater, soul surfer Kevin Naughton & the renowned Malloy brothers as they ride some of the most exciting surf ever seen in Irel&, including a monster 50-foot wave off the coast of Mullaghmore in Sligo. ...
