A story by Dougal Paterson featuring Fabian Camagnolo, Kaisea Button and Dougal himself.

Camera: James Lowe

Editor: Brett Shaw

Skipper: Nick Bothma

“This is a story about the power of mentoring which plays out against the backdrop of Africa’s most dangerous wave. I lost a brother several years back, so this film is a kind of a tribute to what could have been.
