You don’t have to surf to get stoked about Dana Brown’s recent doc Highwater. There’s a lot more than epic 15-foot tubes to admire. The son of Bruce Brown who made the groundbreaking Endless Summer (1966), Brown made his mark with Step into Liquid (2003) and now turns his lens to the beaches of Oahu's North Shore during the Van Triple Crown of Surfing.
But Brown’s coverage is no blow-by-blow rundown of competitors, ratings and elimination rounds. Aside from interviews with some of the sport’s greats like eight-time World Champion Kelly Slater, the audience is also introduced to up-and-coming stars such as the young teenagers Jon-Jon Florence and Carissa Moore as well as others who have sacrificed much for their love of the sport, including shark attack victim Bethany Hamilton and Jessie Billauer, who despite his paralysis after a surfing accident, maintains a passion for the ocean.
