Narrator declares this “the most competitive season in surf history In 1996, six wildly different surfers enter the ASP World Tour (today known as WSL) believing they can win it all. By the final event in September, only two remain and everyone involved insists they were the real champion, even if the math, footage, and reality say otherwise. Crazy mocumentary that will show you the dirty background of surf in 1990's. Sponsorship pressure mounts One surfer switches boards mid-heat based on a dream. Another blames jet lag for a contest in his home country. Étienne releases his own “unofficial rankings". Jack claims he’s being targeted by “anti-intuitive judges”. Mock interviews from: Ex-girlfriends, Board shapers who clearly hate them, A beach announcer who barely remembers their names, A “surf psychologist” who admits he made up the term and some of legendary surfers of that time. Movie ends on September 1996 – Final Stop. Only two of the six mathematically remain in contention: Liam O’Connell and Rick “Razor” Delgado. Everyone understands winner takes the title. Razor surfs aggressively, vintage power. Liam surfs effortlessly, accidentally perfect. Judges are tense, commentators over-dramatic Final wave scores come in…RAZOR WINS THE HEAT! RAZOR WINS THE WORLD TITLE! Razor celebrates like it’s 1989. Immediately gives a rambling speech. His ex-wife (wrong name), A sponsor that dropped him, Pain, Comedy Angle, Everyone agrees he won, Nobody agrees he deserved it, except Razor
