Waveriders is the critically-acclaimed story of Ireland's roots in modern day surfing and its most surprising legacy - the emergence of big wave surfing along its forbidding coastline.

Paying homage to George Freeth, the father of modern surfing, the story follows the wave of surfing culture from west coast America to Ireland's unforgiving waters. With stunning coastline, thumped year round by unmatched North Atlantic swells, Ireland is the pre-eminent destination for big-wave surfers.

Featuring pro surfers Kelly Slater, Gabe Davies and the Malloy brothers, and narrated by actor Cillian Murphy, Waveriders culminates in awe-inspiring and nail-biting footage of surfers conquering the largest waves ever surfed around Ireland.
