Born of mistral winds and witness to the birth of western civilization, the waves of the Italian coast have carried merchants, fishermen, travelers and kings. Preserved like a Roman ruin, the surf of the Italian coast now carries surfer, artist, and environmentalist Chris Del Moro on a pilgrimage back to his ancestral homeland to explore a culture where old-world-convention and traditional craftsmanship have matured into a modern surf lifestyle and destination.

A masterpiece

Half a year ago I found the trailer of this movie and was like "Oh my goodness... I NEED to see this!". It was a long wait. Yesterday I finally downloaded it. What can I say.. I saw it twice.

It's not a movie, it's an incredible mix of poetry,incredible people, beautiful landscapes, good foods and good wines and a feeling of freedom that stays inside you even when the movie ends.

Jason Baffa made an incredible work, he definitely made something special. I hope a lot of people will see this movie, even if they don't like surf, because this is a story about who we are and where we came from. It's the story of Chris del Moro but can be the story of all of us. A masterpiece. Definitely.
