If
you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to
ride at Pipeline, flirting on the edge of some of the
ocean’s most powerful and dangerous waves, then
you’re ready to Step Into Liquid. In this new
documentary, director Dana Brown finds that “the
stoke” – the passion and elation that keeps
surfers paddling back for more – can be found
in some pretty unlikely places. Son of Bruce Brown,
whose The Endless Summer and its sequel are the best
known and most widely seen surfing films ever, Dana’s
perspective on surfing is a wholly unique one, and he
has seen it go from flaky fad to international phenomenon.
Moving far beyond the beaches of sunny Southern California,
surfing now crisscrosses the globe, from Texas to Wisconsin,
Ireland to Vietnam. Traveling to some of the hottest
surfing spots in the world, Dana finds the real search
isn’t for the biggest tube or most radical ride,
but instead uncovers and examines what it is about surfing
that hooks people’s souls, becoming integral to
their lives in ways that far exceed a simple pastime.
There
are as many surfer stories to be found as there are
surfers, such as the guy who hasn’t missed a day
in the water for over 27 years. Or the one eager to
get back on his board even after a crippling accident.
The film also pays notice to the rise of women in the
sport, checks in on the subjects from The Endless Summer
films, and follows one group of fearless surfers who
head 100 miles from shore to ride some 60-foot-plus,
once-every-ten-years waves. With stunning photography
that puts the viewer right in the water with many of
today’s best surfers, it’s time to Step
Into Liquid – to catch a wave and get stoked.
