Sine Qua Non: The Psychology of Big Wave Surfing provides an intimate portrait of the mentality, risks, and lifestyle associated with pursuing monstrous waves around the planet through the eyes of the world’s most decorated big wave surfer, Greg Long. The film’s title, Sine Qua Non, is a Latin phrase, which, roughly translated, means, “Without which, [there is] nothing.” Greg Long presents the viewer with a first-hand account of the life-threatening pursuit of big waves as well a look at the horrific wipeouts involved, including one that nearly ended his life. Going deeper, Long admits his pursuit could be viewed as selfish, especially when surrounded by a very close-knit family that is concerned first and foremost about his safety.

his dad whistled the entire soundtrack to LOTR when he was talking. sounded like a kettle stuck inside a flute. Teas ready. sounded like a football referee on speed. sounded like a parrot at a rave. sounded like 1000 bombs being dropped by a plane. 10/10

So true we only see that milisecond , not the whole story behind it , we're all thinking it's the best job to be a pro surfer , but the stress, mental ability, physical ability, i have mad respect for any of these braddahs with the biggest ballz on earth to rush. Like keaulana said "it's easy to surf surviving is the hard part". That stays with me everytime i surf. ✊✊🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️

Yeah I race motocross and at 40 years old I was still showing the young kids how to get a holeshot,my family has never seen me race or even ride ,but my aunt came with my uncle and it made me worry thinking about how nervous she probably was not knowing that I devoted my life to riding a dirt bike and practice 30 hours more than most people work there full time job,eat sleep ride….
