For the first time in their careers, the core members of surfing's most legendary crew have agreed to tell their story together, giving the filmmakers unprecedented access to their innercircle, and tens of thousands of hours of private archives. As told through their own voices, captured over the course of multiple years of production, the Momentum Generation surfers reflect on the complexity of the brotherhood and competition that shaped their shared emotional journey and made these pioneers both heroic and human.
Critic Reviews:
- " Warm-hearted and thrilling in equal measure – Momentum Generation is an utterly compelling at a tight knit group of daredevils. " – Alex Clement (HeyUGuys)
- " Momentum Generation puts out a notably wide welcome mat, which means you don't have to know or even care that much about pro-surfing history to become absorbed by it. " – Hank Stuever (Washington Post)
- " A surf film might not be the first thing you'd expect to bring you repeatedly to tears, but I can say with authority it is possible. " – Robert Lloyd (Los Angeles Times)
