The story of six young Cuban surfers and legendary Australian surfer, Bob Samin, who has made his home in Baracoa, Cuba.
At the time of the filming, surfing was relatively new to the island, as was independent travel. The surfers, five men and one woman, take us inside their lives and their homes while displaying their inventiveness as they make their own surf boards, legropes and wax out of useful junk. Regarded with suspicion by the Cuban police, these intrepid surfers remain undaunted as they travel the island nation searching for the best waves. Ultimately arriving in Guantanamo, the surfers encounter Samin, visit his hidden surf spots, meet his friends and share his dream
of starting a surf school for Cubans.
