So, Bonnie Land, a love letter to the frozen north, is an ode to the lesser known surfing and waves of Scotland - a wild and beautiful place, and the folk who make it so. Cinematographer, Thomas Horig, filmed the project over 3 years while living in the Scottish Highlands. Far from warm waters and classic surf scenes he found a small, thriving community of dedicated cold water warriors amongst some stunning waves and imposing coastline.

IKE Custom Surfboards—at 24 W. Cota Street in Santa Barbara—was a hub of youthful energy and ideas in the early 1960s. With the help of friends and a younger brother, shaper John Eichert made boards and fins that pushed the performance limitations of longboards. An early removable fin system, and the hydrodynamic V-slot fin, are testaments to his curiosity and inventiveness.

A grommet, in surf lexicon, stands for a surfing newbie, usually a younger person. The Granny Grommets, however, are claiming the term for themselves, ignoring the looming threats of sharks and concerns of their worried offspring, to brace the waves of Albany - bodyboards in tow. The Granny Grommets, a nearly 90 strong group of women, come from all walks of life and with all the life experiences that an older person brings with them, to bodyboard every Friday morning at Middleton beach in Albany in Western Australia. United by their love of the ocean, the group serves as much more than simply a weekly exercise class, for some it’s an escape from caring responsibilities and others a place to feel a sense of identity. This film ultimately reflects on the healing and transformative power community and friendship provide for us later in life.
