Season 3 features the series’ signature intimate interviews, vérité photography, and dramatic visuals with stunning aerial and water footage, showcasing the death-defying beauty of big wave surfing as the athletes risk it all in a quest for the ultimate high. United in their love for the ocean and a compulsion to push the limits of their minds and bodies, the surfers also endure mental and emotional struggles dealing with parenthood, aging, injuries, and even death. As Garrett confronts the toll decades of surfing have taken on his body and mind, he reckons with downshifting a career in a sport that has defined his life. As he looks to pass the torch to a younger generation, the quest to find the next Nazaré and to surf the one-hundred-foot wave never ceases.
