    Strong 10, gripping and intense

    I don't rate movies a 10...at least until I watched this one. I could not think of a single reason to downgrade this from a perfect score. I'm not a surfer, I'm not a very good swimmer...in fact, I'm not anything close to an athlete at all! But this feature film gripped my attention all the way through. Real footage, combined with a dramatic effect at the start and end...well done! I resonated deeply with the theme of seeking ever bigger waves, seeking to touch something more powerful and untouchable than anything experienced before...seeking, I think, to touch the face of God. The cinematography is incredibly beautiful, the unscripted dialogue is honest and meaningful. I think my favorite part was the music played at the end...so nicely brought it all to an end. Well done!
