From the opening line holy macaroni cheese balls!, to the closing credits of this tribute to the significant role in surf culture played by Kommetjie, near Cape Town, we get a fascinating glimpse into how a rural backwater “too far” from Cape Town became a surfing mecca. This sumptuously filmed adventure documentary, narrated by endurance runner Ryan Sandes, is a non-pretentious unearthing of the small town gem of the “Kom”, the birth of big wave surfing in South Africa and the adventure potential of the rugged Cape Peninsula. The film is quintessentially an ode to adventure, and that communality that binds us all together.
