Waveriders (2008)
WAVERIDERS is the previously untold story of the unlikely Irish roots of the worldwide surfing phenomenon and
today's pioneers of Irish big wave surfing. The story unfolds via the inspirational and ultimately tragic history of Irish/Hawaiian
legendary waterman, George Freeth. Freeth, son of an Irishman, was responsible for the rebirth of this sport of Hawaiian
kings in the early twentieth century. With its distinguished cast of world-renowned Irish, British and Irish/American
surfers WAVERIDERS then journeys full-circle from Hawaii to California and back to Irish shores following Freeth's wave
of influence. This journey reaches a spectacular climax when the surfers conquer the biggest swell ever to have
been ridden in Ireland catching monster waves of over fifty feet.
