It chronicles the global adventures of surfers Mike Hynson and Robert August as they pursue the infinite summer and the perfect wave. An average rating of 4 attests to its iconic status.

Big wave legends George Downing and Mike Hynson were in the lineup, but Herbie Fletcher was the star of the show, Sharp said.
