In this soulful surf documentary, filmmaker Cyrus Sutton shadows five different surfers, capturing the ups and downs of their daily routines -- much like the ebb and flow of the waves they ride with such passion. Whether Sutton's lens is trained on Rob Machado, Joel Tudor, Donovan Frankenreiter, Dane Reynolds or John Peck, there's one theme that unifies them despite their differences when it comes to personal style: They all love what they do.
Directed by Cyrus Sutton, Riding Waves leans on a strong ensemble — Rob Machado, Donavon Frankenreiter, John Peck — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
