Chasing The Lotus

For forty years, underground filmmakers Greg Weaver and Spyder Wills documented surf discovery as it migrated around the globe. Their shots captured on celluloid became the timeless images for such films as The Forgotten Island of Santosha, Big Wednesday, Pacific Vibrations, Uluwatu and many more.

Chasing the Lotus is a cinematic journey inspired by many of the reels that were lost in the making of these films. Since that time, these reels have resurfaced and have now been brought to light. A fusion of rare super 8mm film, photo stills and contemporary interviews blend together to make Chasing the Lotus the most in-depth look at surfing discovery ever made.
