TOKYO RISING
57 minutes - 2020 (USA) - VOSTFR
Trailer: https://youtu.be/QTuNFkLRXx4
Directed by Parallel Sea + Erik Knutson and produced by Spencer Klein
This film goes behind the scenes of Kelly Slater's pre-Olympic chase to try to overtake John John in the standings and qualify for the Olympics.
In 2019, after having started the year better than he had ever done at any time in his career (2 wins on the first 3 stages), John John injured his knee again in Brazil. (Surf Session)
"After injuring my knee last summer, I didn't think it would be possible to surf the Pipe Masters five months after the surgery, but I decided to make it my goal and give myself every chance to compete in case there was still a chance to qualify for the Olympics.
I hope this film will inspire people to pursue their goals."
With:
John John Florence, Kelly Slater, Kolohe Andino and Ross Williams.
