I have watched many surfing movies from "The Endless Summer", "Crystal Voyager", to "Storm Surfers 3D". This movie has the most exciting shots I have ever seen! The ones from Tahiti are breath taking. Laird's early life is described. One can see the adventure gene being passed on from his free spirited mom, as she decides to pick up and move to Hawaii. He befriends a well known surfer and before he knows it, he has a new dad. Life at school is tough for someone from the mainland, so Laird makes his mark on the waves. He takes to the ocean as Van Gogh takes to painting, he has to do it! We see how he transforms the sport by introducing various technical innovations that have never been considered before. He also forms strong bonds with other surfers and his family, as they undergo their journey together.
