There's a certain camaraderie among the surfers, particularly with legends like Kelly Slater and the rest of the crew, which adds a layer of authenticity to the whole experience. You’ll notice the pacing is laid-back, allowing you to soak in the various locales and the striking visuals of the ocean. The practical effects are pretty solid too, showcasing some impressive maneuvers without heavy reliance on editing tricks. It's a film that feels like a celebration of that era in surfing.
