1h 40m

Overview

The wave is undoubtedly one of surfing's most challenging and awe-inspiring waves. As Chris Malloy comments, "that wave has changed surfing forever." The movie features fantastic surfing and commentary from a who's who of surfing, people such as Vetea David, Manoa Drollet, Shane Dorian, Kelly Slater, Tom Carroll, Mark Occhilupo, Bruce and Andy Irons, Layne Beachley, and the Hobgood brothers, to name a few. For the first time, you can see and hear it all - the myths, the facts, the history, the stories, the consequences, and most of all, the unforgettable waves. "Blackwater" contains loads of never-before-seen footage from over 25 of the world's best cameramen, exclusive interviews with over 50 great surfers, and just one big star - a surf location that's nothing short of unbelievable.
