Staying on land would be the rational choice, yet they push out into the sea anyway. What drives big wave surfers to gamble with their lives on waves the size of buildings? It’s the pursuit of conquering fear. "Ground Swell: The Other Side of Fear" captures the 2021-22 big wave season through the eyes of Nic Von Rupp, Kai Lenny, Matt Bromley, Torrey Meister, and pioneering surfer Bianca Valenti. Together, they push beyond terror to discover what waits on the other side, taking on massive swells at Nazaré in Portugal, Jaws and Pipeline in Hawaii, and Mavericks in Northern California.
