An unusual friendship steeped in surf nostalgia and old-fashioned self-authentication. Surfing makes them both relatable. Tom and I story weaves together two seemingly different lives that parallel in many ways. Tom Curren became everyone’s surf hero. Kito San pioneered surf culture in Japan and beyond. One with a board and the other with a camera, the duo capture the heart of historical surfing. The film follows Kito presently, as he and his wife Amy travel North in their classic VW bus. A visit to Tom for another trip down memory lane. The story features rare archival surf footage and photography documented on local sun-soaked beaches from around the globe.
Unmistakable bonus clips provided by the Sonny Miller archives.
