A Journey of Resilience and Hope in Big Wave Riding.
Recent shark incidents in our waters have left us all shaken. As a community, we’re facing a shared fear. But what if we could find a way to move beyond it? ‘Groundswell: The Other Side of Fear’ is a powerful surf film that explores the complexities of fear and resilience. Join us for a screening that will inspire, educate, and help us heal together.
The logical thing, the sane thing, is to stay on land. But they paddle out. Why do these big wave surfers risk their lives to ride these mountain-sized waves? The answer is overcoming fear. “Ground Swell: The Other Side of Fear” is an in-depth look at the 2021-22 big wave season through the eyes of Nic Von Rupp, Kai Lenny, Matt Bromley, Torrey Meister, and pioneering female surfer Bianca Valenti, along with a special appearance by Vini dos Santos and maybe the 100-foot wave. They all push past their fear and find out what is on the other side as they tackle monstrous waves in locations from Nazare in Portugal, Jaws, and Pipeline in Hawaii, and Mavericks in Northern California.
