. . . Experience the Breath of Life . . . the feature film about the history of surfing & the Polynesian Culture of the Wayfarers and Waterman by © Armin Kraft …

are the stories of an ancient culture, of pure curiosity, the people behind them, the desire to create something impossible, the pleasure riding waves. This story, which began seventhousand years ago, leads us from the ancient islands of Indonesia into the world of water, called the Pacific. It tells the history of wave riding, the long journeys of the first residents from Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, a long time before the old world of Europe even sailed away from the coastlines.

In ancient times where Egypt raises to his highest cultural level, where Hammurabi established the first lawbook in history of mankind in Babylon, the waterman sailed the open ocean, discovered 10000 Islands and never did forget the fun. To live with the ocean, live in the ocean, always respecting this wonderul enviroment, they developed long time ago the way riding a wave.

Until today it is pure fun to become one with the energy of our nature, leaving all the problems behind. From the first surfers a long time ago to Hawaii where surfing becomes the sport of kings.

Represented by a small boy named Keona we will tell this epic story. In the beginning of the story he is about one year old, we accompany its development, his growing, learning and doing, his search for all the unknown things, we see his early love to the sea, his Parents who accompany and support his way to the young man who is living his own life and learning that its never to late to fullfill an deep dream. In his timeline we will tell the history of surfing, also from the beginnig until present day. From the first canoe which heads into the east to the men who are riding the biggest waves, to find this one moment where they reach the moment, how it is to experience the breath of life.
