“This is Kennedy’s profile in courage, a film about the connection between the great man and the “incorrigible egomaniac.” For all the awesome surfing footage, Take Every Wave is a serious film about the death-or-glory attitude of an extreme athlete.” – Liam Lacey, Original Cin

“The line between dedication and addiction is a thin one, and … that line is even thinner for the surfer who’s the subject of this involving documentary.” – Mark Dujik, Mark Reviews Movies

This exciting film tracks the remarkable life and legendary career of big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton. Much admired by the public (though often disdained or ignored by the surf industry itself), Hamilton is a unique sports icon. He’s an athlete who has refused to compete professionally, yet has dominated big-wave surfing as no other figure has ever done. Transcending the surf genre, this in-depth portrait of a hard-charging athlete explores the fear, courage and ambition that push a man to greatness as well as the cost that comes with it. Threaded throughout is a revealing, deeply personal interview with Hamilton himself, as well conversations with the family members, friends, collaborators and detractors who know him best.
