Movie Plot / Synopsis
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to ride at Pipeline, flirting on the edge of some of the ocean’s most powerful and dangerous waves, then you’re ready to Step Into Liquid. In this new documentary, director Dana Brown finds that “the stoke”—the passion and elation that keeps surfers paddling back for more—can be found in some pretty unlikely places. Brown’s perspective on surfing is a unique one, and he has seen it go from flaky fad to international phenomenon. Traveling to some of the hottest surfing spots in the world, Brown finds the real search isn’t for the biggest tube or most radical ride, but instead uncovers and examines what it is about surfing that hooks people’s souls, becoming integral to their lives in ways that far exceed a simple pastime.
