The essence of surfing is an elusive ideal.  Part sport, part state-of-mind; an avenue for self-expression, a metaphor for freedom; a ritual, a competitive event, a dangerous journey.  Nature supplies the power, and with the proper balance of respect and resistance, we enjoy the ride.   From the North Shore of Oahu, to the end of the road in Tahiti.  From Australia to California, from Florida to France, the world’s greatest surfers share their insights, and show us how — and why — it’s done.  Witness Kelly Slater’s pursuit of an unprecedented eighth World Championship Tour title, Kalani Robb’s insight into the North Shore’s miracles, Joel Parkinson’s demonstration of Australia’s obsession with the sport, and Rob Machado’s Zen approach to the sea.    Featuring Joel Parkinson, Kalani Robb, Kelly Slater, Rob Machado With Bethany Hamilton  Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz    And Andy Irons  Brian Conley  Cory Lopez  Garret Mcnamara  Mark Healy  Mark Occhilupo  Mick Fanning  Raimana Van-Bastolaer  Sean Slater  Taj Burrow  Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew  …
