Le réalisateur Bruce Brown suit deux surfeurs, Mike Hynson et Robert August dans un voyage autour du monde. Malgré le climat agréable de leur Californie natale, les courants froids rendent les plages locales inhospitalières durant l'hiver. C'est pourquoi, aux côtés de Rodney Sumpter et de Nat Young, ils décident de voyager vers les côtes de l'Australie, de la Nouvelle-Zélande, de l'Afrique du Sud, de Tahiti et d’Hawaï, en quête de nouveaux spots de surf - et de la vague parfaite. Ils en profitent pour introduire les locaux à ce nouveau sport. De nombreux surfeurs connus apparaissent durant leurs aventures, Miki Dora, Phil Edwards et Butch Van Artsdalen.

The film begins with a historical overview, starting at its Hawaiian beginnings, then moves on to focus on the dangerous lure of big wave surfing (surfing waves that can reach up to 70 feet). The documentary chronicles the evolution of riding at Hawaii's Waimea Bay in the 1950s, the revolution of lighter boards, and tow-in surfing to allow for "riding giants". Three surfers who are part of this multi-generational evolution are spotlighted: Greg Noll is shown as a fearless big wave rider during the 1950s and 60s; Jeff Clark who discovered Mavericks in Northern California and surfed there alone for years; and Laird Hamilton, the contemporary surfer who brings tow-in riding to the limelight.
