Auf diesen Film haben wir sehnsüchtig gewartet: SURFILMUSIC zeichnet das Leben des Weltstars Jack Johnson von seiner Jugend auf Hawaii an Oahus legendärer Northshore, über die Jahre als kreativer Filmemacher der Momentum Generation um Kelly Slater und Rob Machado bis zum Start seiner Weltkarriere als Musiker nach. Durch die Verschmelzung von seltenem Material aus den 90ern und 2000ern und Johnsons persönlichem Archiv mit heutigen Aufnahmen zeigt der Film, wie Freundschaft und Entdeckungslust den Sound und die Geschichten hinter Jacks Musik geprägt haben.
Filmmusik von Jack Johnson und Hermanos Gutiérrez.
