I really love that Yeti has taken an interest to making content like this and have really resisted the temptation to make it a big cooler advertisement. Well done Yeti for making actually beautiful and compelling documentary material. When I first saw the thumbnail I thought, this otta be good, thinking it was about to be a big Yeti commercial. Boy was I wrong.

Exactly. Nice to see Yeti (Redbull, Patagonia)pour the energy into these non-commercial films. Making a fortune and recognizing the folks who make it possible. BTW, am I the world’s only person who cannot stand the taste of Redbull? Oh, well.

This is also a marketing strategy, it's called Branded Entertainment and it is used to connect with the audience to a more "human" level. It is pretty cool, but still a marketing strategy.

Great Capture of Roger, my inspiration and mentor going back forty five years plus before marriage and having the children and then after with Alison and the children, and after the long separation , he was staying with me at Sunset Point and the reunion with Emi when she turned 18 and returned to Sunset , Amazing !!!! Mahalo’s and Aloha’s for Roger and Emi 🌊🌊🌊🙏🙏🙏

I love what Emi says towards the end, "I feel like a lot of people who really gravitate towards the ocean, like they get some kind of healing from it. And then, they bring it into their lives that way." True for me.

My son's healing was the beach and the waves, all his stress and anxiety disappeared

I’m not even sure what to say about this incredible story, it’s simply a gem of a short film. Emily is an amazing lady, thank you Yeti and the Malloy Bros for making this 👏🏼 ❤

One look at her back and arms, and you can see she's putting the work in. Badass drops on some of those big and steep waves: you gotta really want it...

Incredible story! Made me cry...Emily reminds me of my daughter who passed away three years ago, same sweetness and tenacity as Emily💗Roger is truly blessed to have her in his life again💞

Wonderful story. Life happening. What a beautiful woman

As a father of a loss son of similar age as her who also loved the ocean and nature, I congratulate Roger and his daughter for such connection. It is not easy to have such nowadays, it took me a while to recover what used to be a standard between us and recently was gone. In the last months I did recover being connected with him, this will give me peace for the rest of my days

She has all my respect

This video stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within me. The way it has been constructed is truly commendable. The storytelling, the visuals, and the sound design all come together so seamlessly to elicit such a strong emotional response. Kudos to the creators for crafting such a moving and emotional piece.

Great to see Roger. He was is such a legend.Emi too.glad she uses her dads boards sometimes

I don’t surf and yet this story is just so well told and somehow hits with me. All of these yeti stories are so well done.

I love that you got to tell your story and it even featured my dear friend-your Mom, Alison. You are beautiful and a fighter, just like she is. ⚡️ 🌹 🎶

Everyone has a story to tell. This one was especially well done. Happy to see she reunited with her pop.

This tugs at the heart... and the emotional cords that connect us all to surfing. Brave that Emi and Rodger would share the raw details in such a public way, but it's the human element that makes this story so compelling. Nearly every comment here mentions the word "story," and that underscores the fact that this film's production team told it incredibly well. Yeti, keep on supporting the creators that made this happen!

What a beautiful gem, the film, Emi and a bit of North Shore history with Roger Erickson.

This is such a well spoken story. Well done Yeti for presting this. Everything about this is stunning!

This is a great story for all of us with parental issues as a child. Made me think of all that was missed being estranged from my father since 1986. Thank you for showing me that there is a way out if you have the time and patience with each other. Plus Emily just powered through the pain and got on with life, which is such an inspiration for us all.

They’re really really Hass to be a part two to this story it wasn’t long enough. What a remarkable story and young lady.

I love surfing films! I was drawn to watch this - it is a beautiful film in every way. Emily is a remarkable woman with gorgeous style on the board - and great maturity and poise in life, and in the sea. You can tell the ocean is her home. The footage was exquisite, and the depth of her story, and her dad's, was packed in such a natural way into this treasure of a short film. I hope to see more of Emily. What guts, skill, and focus it took for her to surf again, and return to Jaws - and win! Inspirational!

Just a single daddy here of a little girl I'm nothing special,,,,,, this story is F'n GR8. Well done to Daddy and daughter here ..... emotional, young ladies can look up to this woman.. Savage.. RESPECT 🙏

Wow, such a heartwarming story of two incredible individuals. Their lives, live to the fullest extent during different eras but still intertwined by blood and saltwater. So glad they were able to reconcile, obviously the best outcome for them both.

Wow, such a great story about Emi and Roger with amazing footage and editing. So inspirational to those who have a deep connection to spending countless hours on the water. Well done Yeti!

This was a film with quality story structure and exceptional cinematography. I particularly liked the surf sean in Act 1 where she is filmed from the water level with the wave in the foreground then cuts to the drone shot capturing Emi from above. Same with the beach running scene. Feet and sand in the ground cut to drone shot from above. Great job!

Surfers are a completely different breed. I lived on the big island for a few years and met a few surfers. Nicest people on earth, so mellow. but when it came time to paddle out, they flipped the switch. Absolute monsters of their craft. I guess you have to take it that seriously when you go against the ocean just for kicks.

Big Island surfer here. Yeah, that's how it is. We still kid around but at the same time, it's serious when injuries are one wrong move away.

Thank you for your service Roger. I hope you find solace one day. Your kids love you and look up to you. You raised and influenced one hell of a surfer.

I moved to Hawaii in 1971...and have been immeasurably influenced by the 10 years that I spent there on both the south and north shores of Oahu. My respect for the ocean and all of the healing properties within...off the charts. In those years met numerous characters of the early surfing years...Noll, Lopez, Armstrong, Baker, Kaluhiokulani, Aipa, Doyle, and more. What a beautiful community they all comprised...and looking back...I could not change a thing. Mahalo for this life I have lived.

She’s so Awesome and an Inspiration to all 🤩🩵🤙

This reminds me of DIRT from Huckberry…Outstanding. Thank you for Producing this 🙏

What a great movie. I got hurt in big waves and the accumulated damage over the following years made it where I can't surf anymore. Actually, I can barely walk a lot of days. I was able to surf an SUP at the end (the last 2 or 3 years) of my 45 or so surfing. Something as nice as this is really special to me cause it takes me back, it makes me happy people are still young even if I'm not. I loved seeing her catch some at Maverick"s. That place is a test. Thanks to everyone who cared enough to make this documentary and best of luck to the young strong charger who also happens to be a woman.

Beautiful! My thanks to this wonderful girl and to the filmmakers who bought it to us!

Cool..Double D and Roger are Legends

Awesome!! Roger has been a personal hero for a good 45 years. I've had the honor of having a few conversations with him. Interesting cat. Emi is a total BADASS too! She def won Jaws in 2018.

Real Life . Simple Respect - Two people who are doing it their way - Thank you both for inspiring - 😊

Great film guys, should be proud of this one

You guys are better than Netflix!!!

That was really fun, free and fantastic......what I needed today, thank you! As for the two stars, I really enjoyed your stories, all the best to you!

Thanks - much respect, we have to face the reality that we’re not all doing great as the world says… the paradigm of a fight to live knowing pain exists and pain is evident in our lives, some worse and for others not so apparent. The ocean absorbs the grief and heals in these moments of struggle, but we also have a Heavenly Father who we can know and share our lives with…

❤❤❤ Emi. Keep Dreaming. Great story.

Awesome COOL!!!!!

Well done Jeff and Keith! I wasn't expecting the Vietnam angle. Sons and Daugthers of Vietnam vets had a different experience coming up.

best daughter ever !!!

Hats off to Bimarian films and the guys on this well told story showing the persons behind the wave riding, in a vulnerable, inspiring, and most relatable way. ❤ thanks for sponsoring these types of productions YETI .

Stunning. The story, the look, the cut. Awesome work from production, and outstanding support for these from YETI - SO GLAD these are being made. Would be nice to see Em's commitment to a sport and way of life rewarded with sponsorship that made her life more financially secure both now and for the longer term. It's cliche, but you get one shot at life, there's always going to be hits to take when you live that life you were truly meant to. What's it all for if you don't right :-). All the very best to Emily, she is amazing.

Awesome story and inspiring all the way round. Keep them coming

beautiful story. thank you for sharing. super touching.

Great story, fantastic surfer. You have all my respect.
