Step Into Liquid (NR)

With breathtaking cinematography, this documentary peers behind the stereotypes to find the true meaning of surfing: joy. Dana Brown, son of Endless Summer director Bruce Brown, captures surf masters coasting down perfect waves in paradise, but he also aims the camera in some unexpected directions, discovering pot-bellied surfers in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and crazy Texans that ride in the wakes of oil supertankers. More like a religion than a sport, surfing has been gaining in popularity for over 2,000 years. Step Into Liquid portrays the men and women worldwide who've devoted themselves to this intricate dance between the grace of man and the force of nature. It's all about the wave.
