    Who wants to glide free over the Waves?
    After seeing this documentary with some old hounds howling for waves and action... I thought it was like an old 90ies documentary but man was I wrong! Awesome guys and beautiful footage of waves and water that makes you dream an be curious if you could change your life and just be a surfer and love the oceans gigantic waves like Laird Hamilton does! What a passionate guy and what a fantastic team of guys that all look like someone who was born under the sea. The story of a bunch of passionate guys with a drive that is original and so very interesting. Great story. Thanks for the inspiration. I will now go and search for bigger waves in my life passion.
