During the early 1970s, Ireland’s impressive waves remained largely unknown to the international surfing community. Against the backdrop of the Troubles, dedicated surfers in Dublin and Belfast found common ground, setting aside political differences to host the 1972 Eurosurf championship. The film explores this little-known history of Ireland’s surfing origins and highlights how sport can unite people despite conflict, ultimately contributing to the Emerald Isle's now-renowned surf scene.
