Surfing in Biarritz in the eighties was about bucking the system. An absolute thirst for pure sensation that could lead to the top of the heap or straight to jail.

Via portraits of surfers from the Grande Plage in Biarritz, the movie illustrates a turning point in surf culture — from counterculture statement to high performance sport. This is the unknown story of the six foremost surfers from the ‘80s. The story of their greatness and their decadence.
