Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Sid's Water Brothers shop in Newport has been ground zero for East Coast surf culture since 1971, outlasting most of the actual coastline.

Insight

The Kinnane brothers previously directed commercials for Nike and Ford—this is their pivot to 'authentic' documentary, which explains the polished nostalgia sheen.
