Product Description From Hawaii to California and back to Irish shores WAVERIDERS tells the epic story of the unlikely Irish roots of the worldwide surfing phenomenon and today's pioneers of big wave surfing.
Featuring renowned Irish, British and American surfers Richie Fitzgerald, Gabe Davies, Kelly Slater and the Malloy brothers, WAVERIDERS tracks the influence of legendary Hawaiian waterman, George Freeth, the son of an Irishman, and the first true soul surfer.

Beautiful Gem October 30, 2009 Lucinda Hurley (U.S.A) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Even if you have no interest in surfing this is a remarkable story about the origins of the sport. Shot on 35m, the cinematography is truly jaw dropping and when you think of the shooting conditions even more remarkable that the imagery is so stunning.
A real find.....go watch it.
Electric, vibrant, raw and beautiful.....sensory overload x 10 September 1, 2009 Richard Vasquez (Ireland) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
It explodes onto the screen, full of passion and raw honesty. This is NOT a carefully manicured, fluffy over edited piece of infotainment. Its heart pounding stuff, taking you an emotional roller coaster, leaving you breathless at the end.
The characters, the setting, the surf lifestyle are all effortlessly captured. You spirits soar as you glimpse another world at the edge of the Atlantic. The West coast of Ireland is shown in all its rugged beauty, bursting with a magical quality and understated charm.
It's a documentary of two parts. First part deals with the legendary origins of surfing. From Hawaii to California it charts the life of surf icon George Freeth, son of an Irishman who crammed several lives into his tragically short 35 years. Throughout the movie, some great characters are interviewed from the US surfing world who join the dots and carry the story across the Atlantic to Ireland.
Last week I stood on the Cliffs of Moher in Clare, Ireland and looked down into the jaws of enormous waves, smashing into the rocks. I could barely believe the guys in the movie ( from Ireland, UK and US ) surfed these very same waves and lived.....
See the movie, go visit the Cliffs of Moher, Lahinch and other locations where the documentary is set. I hope you discover a wild natural beauty, simple pleasures, its the perfect antidote to the sanitised world we live in today.
