The man & the sea

A stripped-back portrait of veteran surfer Derek Hynd at Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, riding without fins and sharing the philosophy of freedom behind his unconventional approach.

Three minutes of hypnotic finless surfing and quiet philosophy from one of the sport's true free spirits.

Free one's board from fins, and free one's self - the philosophy of one of Australia's great authentic surfers.
