On the KwaZulu-Natal coast surfers are no longer the stereotyped blonde, sun-bleached beach bum, but guys who are just stoked to catch the perfect wave.
Twins Cyril and Meshack Mqadi, from Umzumbe, have broken that mould, ripping into breaks with style, life-saving and judging surf competitions. And they're training up the next generation of Zulu wave riders. A surf movie with a difference, blending cool cutbacks with social commentary. The soundtrack is pretty groovy too.
