The documentary takes place in South Africa and focuses on a pair of second generation zulu surfing twins. Cyril and Mishak Mqade have made a life for themselves through surfing in a community where employment and education is poor. We explore their experiences from when they began surfing to their present day success stories. The doci also looks into the current growing interest of the youngsters in the community, even though there is very little support for them, Cyril and Mishak teach the them to carry on on the path of the 'Zulu wave'. This is a documentation of how individuals against all odds can go against traditional taboos to bravely discover a new world of inspiration and self realisation.
