Take Every Wave

TAKE EVERY WAVE: The Life of Laird Hamilton is the remarkable story of the American icon and innovator who changed the sport of big wave surfing forever. Capturing a lush, violent and awe-inspiring world, the film intercuts never-before-seen archival footage with a winter surf season on Kauai where El Niño storm systems threaten to bring the biggest swells in decades. Moving beyond the surf genre, this in-depth portrait of a hard-charging, driven athlete explores the fear, courage, ambition and talent that push a man to greatness—and the cost that comes with it.
