Surfing As Philosophy of Life | THE OCEAN’S CALL | Exploring surfing in Portugal

Hi, I am Alina! Join me on my solo-journey through Portugal as I explore the deep connection between humans and the ocean through the lens of surfing. Capturing in surf cities like Peniche, Ericeira, Nazare, Lisbon, Lagos, and Sagres, I explore the goals, fears, struggles, and challenges of those who call the ocean their playground. This film is not just for surfers, but for anyone who has ever felt a connection to the sea (or even never felt before but has a desire to feel it for the first time). A film that will connect you with your inner self as well as with the origin of all life on our planet – with the ocean. A film about how many valuable lessons we can take from the philosophy of surfing, since we all are surfing our own life waves on this journey.
