Верхом на великанах
Laird John Hamilton
Фильм о сумасбродных смельчаках, кто решил бросить вызов огромным морским волнам. Последовательный рассказ о том, как зародился серф-спорт, кто был основателем, кто уже вошел в легенды тау-серфинга. Сейчас самое популярное место на земле для серфинга, это Гавайи, а самую большую волну можно поймать у берегов Северной Калифорнии, и называется она Маверик. Не каждому покоряются морские волны-великаны, но те, кто прошел по верху ее гребня, действительно заслуживают восхищения.
