What The Search for Freedom Is About

Written and directed by Jon Long, this documentary treats surfing, snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding and mountain biking as parts of a single cultural movement rather than as separate sports. The people telling it are its pioneers and champions: Tony Hawk and Danny Way from skateboarding, Kelly Slater from surfing, Jeremy Jones from snowboarding, Robby Naish from windsurfing, Kai Lenny from paddleboarding, Ron Kauk from climbing, Robbie Maddison from motorcycles. The argument the film makes is that all of it grew less out of competition than out of wanting to live in the moment and to express something. Yvon Chouinard, Gary Fisher, Bruce Brown, Annie Boulanger and Nyjah Huston also appear. It was released in June 2015.
