The far shore

The Far Shore awaits you …
This film is about the celebration of being a surfer.
The year is 1972, and we join south California locals, Kevin Naughton (a surfer magazine photographer) and Craig Peterson, as they head out beyond the, then known, realm of surfing, committing themselves to the deep exploration of Central America, West Africa and Morocco in an amazing six-year journey.
Not content with the amazing waves they have discovered and named already, the boys continue over to Ireland to witness the early years of surfing on the emerald isle, before crossing over to join the cultured french for a gorging on Frances’ many beach and reef breaks. Finally, after a decade of scouring the planet for waves, the explorers enjoy the best Fiji has to offer.
This film is stylishly composed (bit of a ‘dogtown’ feel to it) and has such a reality edge to it that you’ll think you’ve been along on their travels.
The film is composed of interviews with people met and influenced; classic photos and footage of the waves, shores explored, and features a beautiful soundtrack.
Best watched when: You have to go to work tomorrow, but you wish you could hit the road tonight.
