This documentary chronicles the colorful and controversial legendary surfboard designer Dick Brewer. Arguably the most influential surfboard shaper of the 1960s and 1970s, Dick Brewer has often been called the father of the modern-day surfboard. He changed the design of surfing equipment not once, not twice, but three times in his 50-year career as a trailblazer, with all the notorious tales that have until now remained just rumored legends.

Directed and edited with the skill of a lifelong cinematographer Bob Campi, this biopic captures the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of visionary who changed the world of surfing forever, a trailblazer throughout his career. The filmmakers tell his story with phenomenal cinematography and archival footage coupled with a retro soundtrack, that will take you back to the era where surfers and board designers redefined what riding a wave could be.
