When you think of surfing — legends like Kelly Slater, Mark Healy, Laird Hamilton, Bethany Hamilton (and many others!) may come to mind. But what you might not think of, are those on the other side of the waves: lifeguards.
Written by Poway High School graduate Jim Kempton, the documentary began as an adventure to capture the spirit of surfers along the North Shore. But as Kempton conducted research, he quickly found the real story was with lifeguards, and not just those on O’ahu.
As for San Diego, Kempton said the lifeguard community is very tight-knit and that it’s amazing to see people’s reactions whether they know nothing about surfing and lifeguarding or they know everything. Once inside, the heroic work of lifeguards was recognized right out the gate. The filmmakers asked all “watermen and women,” as they say in the movie, to stand up before the showing in order to be recognized.
