Movie Details
| Synopsis | If you found the most perfect wave in the world, would you be able to keep it a secret?
This is the story of Safi, a mythical wave on Morocco's Atlantic Coast that was discovered by a small group of friends in the early 1980s. They swore each other to secrecy and surfed the wave alone for decades. But a secret this good is hard to keep. Alternately called Le Jardin (The Garden) or Ras Lafaa (The Head of the Snake), Safi is known today as one of the best surf spots in the world and has become famous for delivering endless barrels and bone-crushing wipeouts. But as the crowds grow and tensions rise, the wave's future hangs in the balance. Join us as we turn back the clock and trace the roots of this incredible surf discovery, while reliving some of the best waves and biggest barrels ever documented below Safi's towering cliffs. Along the way we explore the origins of Morocco's unique surf culture and discover why Safi is one of the most challenging point breaks on the planet - and what it takes to ride it. |
