I picked up a ticket to the final screening of this films at the Tribeca Film Festival of this film as a goof. I mean what exactly is river surfing anyway? River surfing is a truly amazing thing. Its surfing on a river where water level and other factors come together to create a wave that one can effectively ride forever. The sport appears to have been created thirty plus years ago in Germany when guys using body boards to ride the waves realized they could also use surf boards.
Filled with some of the most amazing surfing footage you are ever going to see this is a documentary that will make you go "WOW" out loud repeatedly. I've never seen anything like this. It helps that director Bjoern Richie Lob is a surfer who has worked on coverage of surfing for European television since he could bring in the best people to capture the action. He also is documenting a sport where people don't move much so he could really work out how to film it.
Its amazing. Its visually one of the treats of the year and its one of the best sports documentaries I've ever seen.
Trust me you want to see this, even if you aren't a surf fan you want to see this...on a big screen if possible...
