The Epic Search to Unravel Surfing’s Great Mystery…Who started the shortboard revolution? Filmed in Australia, Hawaii and California and featuring extraordinary archival footage of surf legends of the past four decades as well as today’s hottest surfers, Going Vertical is not your usual surfing film. Set to a pumping soundtrack including tracks from Pearl Jam, Powderfinger, Spoon and Boards of Canada plus iconic artists from the Summer of Love including Manfred Man, Russell Morris and Thunderclap Newman, Going Vertical is the story of an era, of a revolution and the extraordinary characters who made it happen.
