Synopsis
A Pleasant Surprise offers an honest look at the talents of a select group of surfers who live in a truly special part of the United States. Almost three years in the making, this film documents a world of contrast as daily changes in weather and waves prove to be all part of a larger picture; thumping beach breaks, cold water, and quick tropical storms are just a fraction of what you will find. Brought to you in Super 16mm, A Pleasant Surprise allows for the full beauty of this region and its surfers to be realized.
Shot on location in New Jersey & New York
Featuring some of New Jersey’s top professional and amateur surfers including…
Sam Hammer, Ben McBrien, Andrew Gesler, Zach Humphries, Jamie Moran, Randal Townsend, Brendan Willem, Chris & Rob Kelly, Matt Keenan & Ian Bloch.
