More than just a paradise on earth or a surfer’s Eden, French Polynesia is the cradle of a rich and vibrant culture. It is on this ancestral land of board sports that Mathieu Crépel, Ludovic Dulou, Pierre Lopez, and Jérémy and Ludovic Teulade embarked on an extraordinary adventure. From Tahiti and its Teahupo’o peninsula to the remote Tuamotu Archipelago, these five watermen set out to meet individuals who share a profound and unique connection with nature and water sports. This journey, infused with Mana, the mystical energy that pulses through the islands of the Pacific, feels like a true return to the origins. The voyage delves into the bonds between canoeing, bodysurfing, prone paddling, and surfing. It bridges the gap between locals and visitors, Polynesians and the ocean, humanity and nature. At the heart of this adventure lies the Tahitian concept of HONO, the connection that unites them all. Official Selections 2022: Anglet Surf Film Festival, SM&F Surf Film Fetival Valencia.
