ABOUT THE FILM
It all started with a couple of guys who never stopped looking for new surf spots. They soon grew into a team of like-minded individuals. SURFSIBERIA team began documenting their adventures in 2014 – about surf culture and the people who live it. After five successful episodes, we embarked on making a full-length feature film – “Priboi”.
