The O’Neill Wave of the Winter is the pinnacle of the North Shore season, sure. But it was only one spectacular ride over a four-month season which saw hundreds of spectacular rides. We documented the best of these spectacular rides over the whole damn winter and packaged it into a movie that celebrates the heroes of the North Shore, complete with insights from those who mattered most — the surfers and judges. Enjoy.
