Description: Welcome to the North Shore of Oahu – the 7 Mile Miracle – surfing’s Xanadu. A freak of nature that is long considered the ultimate test for surfers. Six decades ago, it was the rite of passage for a select few. Then a few more, and a few more. An image that created a fashion; a fashion that became and industry of shoes, shirts, pants, short, hats, movies, and magazines that defined a lifestyle. A lifestyle commoditized and exploited mixing liars with legends until it's nearly impossible to separate Da Bull from Da shit. It's layers of mystique, the mystique that generates ten billion dollar years, dollars that fund pro surfing's world tour which culminates on the North Shore of Oahu. Where each year the circle completes to begin again. It’s the Triple Crown – the final 3 contests of the year - held in the cyclone of the North Shore between Halloween and Christmas Eve. For 55 days the Triple Crown is a catalyst for a big wave soap opera that unfolds around, beside and away from the actual contests. (Outsider Pictures)
