Film Still: A Surfer's Search

A Surfer's Search

2019 USA / Duration: 4 mins
Directed by: Kevin Steen

You can take the classic “nerdy skinny kid” out of Newport Beach and move him to Wisconsin, where he’ll grow up and have children, and he will still find a way to surf – on Lake Superior, in winter, at the age of 60. Let Erik Wilkie explain: “It gets into your bones, it gets into your heart, it gets into something in the back of your mind, and it’s something that takes you back to that childlikeness.”
