In late 2001, ex-pro surfer and snowboarder James McMillan strapped his boards on the roof of his car and hit the road. What followed was a four-year surfing odyssey that took him back to the heart and soul of surfing culture – often lost in the big name, big sponsorship, and big business of surfing today.
Up the east coast of Australia and all the way to Waimea Bay in Hawaii, James takes us into the lives of Jack Johnson, Occy, Ozzie Wright, Derek Hynd, Tom Carroll, Paul Sargeant, the Malloy brothers, Andrew Kidman, Rob Machado, George Greenough, Nathan Fletcher and Tom, Joe and Pat Curren to show what really drives some of the most successful names in surfing today. Intermeshed is James personal quest to rediscover what surfing means to him.
Freedom, the call of the ocean, and the courage and skill to face off against monster waves. 'Blue Yonder' reconnects with what surfing is all about.
