About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Three 1960s California surfers fool around, drift apart and reunite years later to ride epic waves.
Sun-drenched California coasts provide a nostalgic, salt-crusted backdrop for a lifelong bond forged in the swell of massive Pacific waves. This sprawling chronicle captures the bittersweet transition from youthful recklessness to the quiet weight of adulthood.
