    Great story about not letting your circumstances put limits on you. Shows how an accessible surf experience was created in Costa Rica. Tells the story of 3 wheelchair surfers and how surfing helps change lives.

    You hear from their families, you hear from the wheelchair surfers. The owner and the director of the camp in Costa Rica discuss what getting these guys surfing in Costa Rica means to them and how this wonderful opportunity came to fruition.

    This film takes you into the camp, shows you Costa Rica and you experience what it takes to get these guys out surfing. You meet the volunteers, you see the love and dedication they have for surfing these guys.

    This film shows what it means to go out and live your life in the best way you can, no matter your circumstances.

    An excellent documentary about pushing your perceived limits. This was a great film to be a part of and I appreciate Jason for doing an amazing job of sharing the story of Christiaan, Jake and Patrick and their journey. A great film, emotional, funny and interesting. From the opening scene to the closing credits, this film will grab you and help enlighten the audience to the world of adaptive sports and more so how a kid in a wheelchair sees his abilities and opportunities in our able bodied world. The shots of Costa Rica and the Huntington Beach Pro surf contest are fantastic and the commentary from the families of Jake and Patrick really hit an emotional button. I loved being a part of this movie, getting to watch its creation and to see the final cut on the big screen.
