While El Niño wreaked havoc on California in 2015-16, it created a winter playground for surfers.
This surfing film showcases up and coming local California bands and the dedicated surfers (average Joes and big-wave pros) who charged El Niño swells on shortboards, longboards, stand-up paddle boards (SUPs), kite boards, body boards, rafts and even kayaks.
Surf features locations in Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma and Mendocino counties.
NOTE: Outside of the Mavs contest, no local/amateur surfers or spots were harmed OR NAMED in the making of this documentary. Before anything, the author respects all local surfers and their hometown breaks, and left them anonymous for just that reason.
