I've just returned from a surf trip after being out of the water for over ten years. I was suffering with deep trauma so I bought a custom board from a local shaper which in itself was exciting and hit the local beaches. A week later I had a visit from an old friend that I had introduced to surfing 35 years ago and even explored unknown breaks on tropical islands with 20 years ago. Well now he has always remained a hard core grommet and lives for the waves in a place that offers a lot bigger surf than my local break, it didn't matter he drove us down and we test drove the new board. He returned home 4 hours south of me and a few days later he messaged me with the departure dates for an up north trip 12 hours away, where we would encounter those golden tubes we shared in the 90's together! Well I returned last night after surfing my heart out for ten days and swagging it out under the stars. Such an epic trip, totally rejuvenated with a new perspective on life. Immersed in the ocean one never loses sight of the horizon. Bless you my friend and the ocean, between the two you have saved one soul from drowning on land. Thanks for reading and splash on yo ;)

[@gideonjager5497]

I live on an island, the ocean is 10 mins away from me, I love it, but the day to day living stole me away from her, this entire video and your comment, just made me yearn to go to the ocean. I will! Thank you.

[@blackstarsapphire8773]

Lovely! Unfortunately I don't cross any water that is above my knees. I almost drowned, twice, when I was a little girl, so I have strong phobia for deep waters. I love the natural world though - just enjoy sights of the ocean from a distance (my phone screen) lol

You'll never find something you're not looking for. Some of these people were blessed to be born into their true calling, some found it through happy coincidence and others had to find it the hard way. Everybody walks their own road in life. You can give up but never give in. If something's not working for you, ditch it and find something that works better. Don't be a bystander to your own existence. If there's something you want in life, you have to go to it, don't wait for it to come to you.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

@Pedro Ivan Sanchez The trick is to acknowledge the role fear played in your life to keep you safe and alive. Fear serves a vital purpose. Then realise that the adults around you taught you, falsely, that fear should be a constant state to keep you locked in. So, existing in a state of fear became a daily habit that you have carried around with you. Consider if constant fear is really needed in the life you have now. Are you safe now? Is your life still entirely dependent on unsafe and fearmongering adults? Can you take care of yourself and make your own life decisions? If so, constant fear is obsolete. Fear became embedded into you; it is not part of who you naturally are. Fear is an emotional and physiological state that effects our thinking. Fear is definitely not your identity. You are the life inside the cage of fear. Once you feel the distinction between yourself and fear, it becomes easier. You can strengthen your sense of self by exploring sensory things, and environments, and movements, and learn what you enjoy, and allow yourself to experience those things. What has value and meaning to you? You have just as much right to enjoy your life as anyone else. Of course, as long as you aren't harming anyone! If you are not, you can have a clear conscience. You don't need to live contained in the old house of fear anymore. You don't need it now. The life inside that house is you. You have the power to just go to the door, walk out and reclaim your life as rightfully yours. You have served your sentence for crimes you didn't commit. Like a bird in a cage with the door open, it is up to you to realise you can just fly out and free. This planet, including the oceans, are your natural home, and you belong here as we all do.

[@jesusisking3814]

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE only way to Heaven and He loves you? Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him. Biblical explanation of the Gospel: God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ for He lived a sinless life. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life, Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) We aren’t saved based on our good deeds/works, but only by the grace of God through faith. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him. ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15) ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19) Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6) If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) You are born again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousness - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so. In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'' ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19) ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41) ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21) ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

[@homosexualitymydearwatson4109]

I think it’s dangerous to want such a connection to nature, and I love nature don’t get me wrong, I’m a borderline hippie. But it’s almost disrespectful to our species and to nature itself to want that connection with nature but neglecting to remember the fact that nature doesn’t care about us. It’s a dangerous and unforgiving force, as much as it is beautiful. I think that’s why humanity is so beautiful, we’re the only species that evolved to fight and continuously overcome nature, we build communities and shelters and technology like no other species has, in order to get out of the elements. I think it’s a beautiful thing to be out in the water and outdoors in general but never forget that nature is not a friend to any life form. Always respect and fear it as much as you admire it.

[@oceanbreathyogawellness4487]

My Dear Watson Ummm... where do you think you come from? You are made out of the very elements of nature. It took the very existence of nature to form the cells that gathered to make you. It is not about getting too close to nature, there is nothing dangerous about it is about remembering we are part of the whole cycle. Once we all remember that then things will come back into balance. There are laws of nature for a reason and we are the only ones breaking the laws. As humans we definitely have an opportunity to live beautifully. But "overcoming" nature?....That is the quickest surest way for nature to decide we are no longer needed because we break the balance. Chances are you are simply trolling which is why I am not giving you the pleasure of a direct reply. If you aren't trolling and actually believe what you said, I honour that you have a perspective, but may I suggest you do some research on nature and our part in it? It really is time for opinions to be spouted at reality whithout wanting to do the work of truly knowing something.

Your film is a love letter to gratitude, to the ocean that was my home, church and cradle for so many years and the place I most long to return to like family. One day soon.

Ah our beautiful majestic ocean, our great equalizer and teacher...how I love and miss you so.

[@sassiecassie08]

I was raised in Hawai'i, and the one thing that I can always remember so clearly is the beaches and the ocean waves. When I was in school, they made us swim in a pool, and I could never quite get comfy, but the days we would swim in the ocean, I was like a fish in the water. When I moved to Washington, it felt as though that channel was closed off from me, and I would sit in our city apartment, 70 miles away from the ocean, and think of what I was missing. A year ago, I moved to one of the islands of Italy, and that love came back so strong. I live two miles away from the ocean, and every day I just want to walk there and never leave. Watching this has only made that love grow stronger. I may not be a 'fish person'; however, I don't think the ocean will ever leave my heart even though there are times where I am not able to be in it. Thank you for the video.

You just put to words everything that I feel about the ocean. I am also not a fish person but being away from the ocean, constricts everything inside of my heart.

Taking all those kids to the beach, teaching them to surf, talking to them/guiding them and just allowing them to have fun and exercise whilst feeling safe and looked out for whilst learning an entirely foreign skill is a FANTASTIC thing to do. So cool.

[@freddesmet259]

The ocean and surfing is a meaningful escape... A gateway to a passion filled life.

[@agnestaupelyte1096]

The people who created this masterpiece are gifted people. Thank you so much, this video feels like being created with so much love, passion and purity, it resonated so deeply with my heart that at some point I feel that something has significantly changed within me... Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@zm453]

This documentary captures the essence of what we swimmers feel but can never put into words. Thank you ❤️ and may you always have bright blue skies and less seaweed freaking you out.

[@PsYcoPink]

Anyone else have goosebumps watching this? Beautiful vid, bless our magnificent majestic oceans! 🌊💦🐬💦🦈💙🦈💦🐬💦🌊

[@arnaldolegaspi7605]

This documentary deserves an award❤️ I found all the scenes perfect🔥

[@musaelsaidi]

There are no words. Thank you for sharing this brilliant story. I'm reduced to weeping. Simply thanks again.

[@d.michaelramirez6833]

This was an amazing film about real people, real journeys and personal stories. I'm glad I came across it.

[@indiracamotim2858]

I agree. It was so inspirational.

[@peterwoods4687]

I grew up in San Diego going to the beach since I was a baby. The ocean is a part of me and I am a part of it. I have this incredible memory of being a child with a group of slightly older kids exploring the rocky shoreline and cliffs just south of la Jolla cove. It was magical! My child's imagination just reveled in the beauty and the adventure of just being in the water among the beautiful rock formations. I was so in tune with that environment! Over the years I have relived those moments as the most precious of memories! This documentary caught some of that spirit and joy!

[@elenaki2232]

this was truly amazing, I felt that I can connect with these people through their stories, I could feel their love just by looking at their eyes! That was incredible. Thank you.

[@patagonia]

Thank you so much!

[@leslieg2227]

Ive always been scared of the water having grown up in the desert. This past year i challenged myself to learn to swim, and then got a job on a cruise in the pacific. I saw the ocean for the first time and when I stepped into it I was overcome with the most beautiful emotion of gratitude. I couldn’t believe such sublime beauty existed

[@JuanBarberis]

Just beautiful! Thanks, Patagonia, for this wonderful production! Long-live Fishpeople! : )

[@tim6385]

What a phenomenal film! Way to capture the pure essence of these fish people. While not all of us can swim freely in the ocean like a fish would, this film has given a chance for some to live vicariously through these true champions of the sea. Awards should be given, and props to patagonia for absolutely nailing it.

[@aprilczareen5706]

I've been feeling down and lost in life for a while but watching this made me feel happy and calm because in a way, this describes how I feel about the ocean. I wish to go back soon. It's really like getting pulled back home whenever I'm in the water.

[@danaklimova8109]

The most beautiful film I have seen in a while, inspiration, respect. thank you for this experience!

[@indiracamotim2858]

Thank you for posting this film. It made me feel so homesick because I have always lived by the ocean. There is beauty, gratitude and so much respect in your film. I loved all the stories.

[@Pamzoo]

I'm blow away by Kimi ~ Mahalo nui for sharing your experience. I grew up in SoCal and this level of understanding and coexistence puts me in total awe.

[@ZURISADDAI]

One of the best docs! Sending love, light, and positive energy to everyone!

[@jyohniburkette673]

EVERYTHING about this video is POWERFUL ..all stories told ,but I truly am touched by the LOVE shown by Eddie Donnellan..means much...."touched by an Angel" kind of thing......Blessed be to all the Fish People

[@akmamoh2354]

Such a beautiful and great story. I've literally cried when they shares their passion towards the water and ocean. Thank you for sharing this epic story on KZbin 🤗

[@patagonia]

Thank you for watching!

[@ish694]

Returned about a month back from getting my Open Water Diving license. It has been a turbulent ride post returning to the landlocked area I used to call home. Ironically, feels now more alien than open waters. Been reading about, watching documentaries on, and trying to reconnect with the ocean whenever I can post that. Its a wonderful yet agonising experience to be so away from the waters you suddenly started loving. Makes you realise what you actually value in life. Loved the doc 🤎

[@Truth.Keeper]

She just told her story about taking her dinner back from a shark, then they show her hitching a ride on a dorsal fin of a great white...😍

[@JeromeBakerSmoke]

Isn't that a bull shark though? Great Whites are extremely rare in Hawaii, the water is too warm. I could be wrong

[@Truth.Keeper]

It is a great white.

[@ch3fg033]

@@JeromeBakerSmoke there's no bull sharks in Hawaii and yes great whites are rare but shes probably way out at sea

[@ScubaLui]

She understood the shark and made it understand her

[@dipthongthathongthongthong9691]

Listen, the story is breathtaking really. And her skills are fascinating to a land-bound guy like myself. But isn't she anthropomorphizing the shark a bit? Suggesting the shark and she had a "moment" and her defiant aura subordinated the shark? The sharks are apex in those water and if it wanted to it could've shredded her. I'm not trying to throw shade but... any sharks experts here?

[@MaryellenS.13]

MY FAVORITE DOCUMENTARY OF ALL TIME! I saw this a couple of years ago on Netflix. It never gets old....I’ve watched several times. Patagonia I SO wish that you’d put out more nature Docs like this one!!! 🎥🍿 AMAZING 🙌🏼💙

[@wild_childofthe80s]

Oh my.. I'm only 7 minutes in and I'm blown away. What an incredible human.. I don't think I could kill the fish but I'm in awe of Kimi's ability to dive at such depths on one breath and their relationship as Father & Daughter is one that should inspire many other Fathers. I wish I'd had a similar upbringing. My Father has never been in the Ocean. I have had to find my love for it, myself. What a truly wonderful film.. I'm looking forward to the rest xox

[@kendellharbin]

Thank you for this. I just returned to the coast where I grew up after 12 years of being landlocked. This film really speaks to the immense feeling that is coming home to the ocean. Got me crying like a baby :-)

[@xaviermelendez2639]

What a beautiful and stunning series of in-depth interviews. So very inspiring, I aim to re-watch this with my 13year old daughter. Thank you!

[@patagonia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tbabz6892]

Now you know what it’s like to be a South Pacific Islander . Our people have been living this life for thousands of years. Gotta love it 😉🥥🌴

[@nadiakishlan]

Thank you for creating this absolutely stunning piece of film! it actually made me tear a little to witness the strength of the human spirit. As a person who adores the ocean and its biodiversity way more than what's on land, I always dream of someday living close to the water in a way that allows me to access it so freely like the people in this film

[@lilliehalumi8770]

This was absolutely breath taking. Every story was so deep and personal, everyone sharing a common love for the ocean and respecting it. Gorgeous footage, with positive messages. Saving this one. Thanks for sharing.

[@lagoa6320]

Its just inspiring, I have no words to describe how great of a job you all did. Thank you very much!!

[@josephpapaleo]

That was just so beautiful. It reminded me of why I love the ocean so much, and why I miss it.

[@liquidsaltmag]

This is such a beautiful film. Keith Malloy, you did an amazing job. My favorite section is the Dave Rastovich chapter.

[@pmcollett]

I'm not a surfer, but I love the Dave Rastovich philosophy. Meaningful play...

[@sammmmmwilliams]

They could just cut the other pseudo BS and just have the rastovich part. By far the best section as you say

[@joshmason6169]

"You can't tell me how to enjoy the ocean". Such truth... we all need that reminder from time to time.

[@mememinaa7052]

Thank you so much. I was born and raised in the prairies but always wanted to live near the ocean. Thank you for this amazing documentary.

[@oldmtbrider4273]

I don’t think the story was about the ocean but about the ability of the human mind to disconnect it’s self from whatever type of fear it is presented with and turn it into something positive GREAT VIDEO

[@inkspot8356]

So good to lose yourself in such beauty, an hour so well spent. Thank you ~

[@kentwebber79]

Thank you so much for making this available, I can't wait to share it with all my friends. You take care of what you love, and you guys sure do a great job of reminding us why we love the ocean so much. Gracias.

[@ScubaLui]

I also shared this immediately after watching. So stunning, so beautiful

[@starryeyes2067]

Wow! Fantastic film. Touching, insightful stories. Stunning photography. Thank you so much! From Seattle 🌊

[@williamlinden68]

that was just amazing...sometimes you wonder why you feel so great after playing in the ocean or a bay...it is deeper than you think....this film really pulls out those idea...beautiful

[@nightyfischer]

Lived on a catamaran around 20 years ago, this changed me forever, and I've been wishing to go back forever. The freedom, being weightless and bound with nature is pure gold

[@Nadiipp]

What a beautiful honouring of the ocean and it's resonance with Heart, with Soul!! Thank you for your vision and sharing of our interconnectedness. Pure Love!!

[@starrjolene]

Beautiful movie. Thanks so much for making it available on KZbin. Inspiring stories that make me want to get out there and do more, see more, be more.

[@si_onthefly]

Amazing people, amazing stories and amazingly told and shot. I swear I saw this or something very similar on Netflix a year or so ago but maybe it just also covered some of the same people. Beautiful.

most beautiful and touching documentary I have ever seen. thank you

[@kkrazybeautykk]

I LOVE this! Beautiful to watch. I envy the people who have been able to embrace and become part of the sea/ocean life.

[@fienri]

Thanks Keith, this is the kind of documentary that i definitely will pass on to my kids. We live in a beautiful archipelago Indonesia and We are grateful to live in a place surrounded by beautiful beaches and oceans.

[@darrellturner560]

Awesome! Brings back so many feelings and memories of the years I spent chasing waves to emmerse in the rejuvinating waters. As well as the years I spent pulling people from, for them, her deadly clutches. For me it was sharing my joy of being a part of something untameable. The ocean is the freedom our lives don't have. I miss it so very much. As soon as this stupid lockdown stuff is over my halted plan to go is the first thing my family and I are doing.

[@yaraalmostafa8173]

Their peace, their lightness made me feel surrounded, contained in motherly way. Being inside the water is indescribable. Thank you for the beautiful documentary.

[@NevaalPersad]

This was beautifully done. Makes me think about buying a board and start to surf. I am lucky enough to live on an island, might as well give it a shot.

[@2to-tango]

I love pictures of water and waves without people or surfers. Just water doing what it does so well. It's exhilarating. Thank you for your photography.

[@lynx777]

I learned a lot from this, this is probably the greatest most spiritual video I have ever watched.

[@MultiJanfi]

What a wonderful wonderful piece of art. I cried 3 times... I grew up going free diving with my dad a lot. Greece, Italy, Spain - you name it. We had the best time and I got better and better. 2008 My dad suddenly passed away, and most of the best memories is diving and sailing with him. Seeing the woman and her dad going diving since always brought up so many feelings and good memories. Thanks so much - it means so much to me

[@wild_childofthe80s]

Sorry for your loss ♡ x.x

To all the beautiful souls within this film, blessings and thanks so very much for touching my heart and life with your stories. For giving of yourselves so honestly. Through your stories, we should all remember to be a part of nature and each other every single day. To give so selflessly and loving as you do. To the maker's and producers; much thanks and a job expertly done! Delivered at a time when many of us desperately need this connection and reminder. Kudos 🙏🏻🌻😟♥️

Thank you so much for this. My beautiful 91 year old mom is in ICU today. I am waiting for a Hospice to call me and discuss end of life plans. I truly needed something transformative to help take my mind off of this. Your beautiful movie did exactly that. I had peace, as if I too were in the ocean riding the waves and communing with nature. Thank you.

[@vforvictory111]

This film spoke to me in so many levels and spiritually! Thank God for people who were used to put this together and the people subjects of this documentary. I am not big on comments, in fact I think this is just my 2nd (in my entire youtube experience), but I wanted to show my appreciation for this film. For someone who doesn't know how to swim and afraid of the ocean, this has been so real for me. Thank you.

[@ariane242]

Wow, best documentary I’ve ever seen about the ocean.. 👏😍

[@peasinourthyme5722]

Thank you so much for this masterpiece of a documentary! Seldom do I get this sucked in and swept away by tv, by the beauty and grace you are able to let shine through. It stirred something in me. Thoughtprovoking, but on the heart level.
