I've seen many good surfing documentaries and I love them. I don't get the same from this one. It doesn't speak about the very human heart of the sport.
This is content made for a different group of people. It apparently wants to virtue signal and make social commentary and is very clumsy and superficial in doing so. In my eyes this is actually demeaning to multiple groups of people, even the ones it wants to prop up.
In the first episode you will be told surfing is sexist and shown a surfboard with black lives matter plastered on it. So rebel. Much punk. The women compete on a smaller wave, but now they're moving to the big wave surfed in the men's competition, due to a shark attack. The women's final on the big wave is low scoring.
I wonder what women weren't shown who didn't agree with the idea of changing the location.
