A surf documentary unlike any other....

Three middle-aged men decide to learn to surf and make a movie about their adventure. Their ultimate goal: catching a wave in Hawaii. But following their dream turns out to be much harder than the pros make it look on TV.

The crew of friends and co-workers, including a first-time instructor, gather to teach the newbies and record their efforts. From the frigid waters of Northern California to the tropical shores of Maui, Surfari! documents their trials, tribulations, and successes as they tackle both the surf and personal obstacles on their way to living the dream.

Surfari! boasts an all-original soundtrack backing the mix of interviews, surf education, and in-the-water drama of this often comedic adventure. From endless paddling, to a painful encounter with Hawaiian vana, to learning about "sinking a sub", Surfari! explores the aspects of surfing you never think of while watching the pros glide across the waves.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Customer Reviews

Surfari is truly what "REAL" dreams are made of
Not only is this a must see for the beginner/"I'd like to try that" kind of surf fan but for the avid surf nut as well. It validates the impassioned, obsessive and sometimes down right crazy lifestyle of the ardent surfer and their respective community while showing the rest of the world "It's not as easy as it looks". This is not your average "Watch a bunch of guys surf big waves while listening to 70's style surf tunes" kind of movie. It's a real life account of a few "I'd like to try that"'s getting out there, getting beat down by mother nature and then..... Well, you have to see it. Trust me. You will love it. If I had a dream, this would be it.....

Surprisingly engrossing...
... and uncommonly honest filmmaking. You will want to turn around and watch it again.
