In June of 2012, Fiji’s Cloudbreak delivered one of surfing’s most historical days. A momentous swell rolled smack-bang into the middle of the contest window for one of professional surfing’s most anticipated events, the Volcom Fiji Pro, and surf fans salivated at the thought of the world’s top rated surfers being put to the ultimate test. As many contestants prepared themselves to face down the fear of annihilation at the hands of the ocean at it’s most awe-inspiring, a decision was eventually made to call off the event. It was a decision that divided the surfing world and cast further doubt over the professionalism of the sport. A select few paddled out anyway and joined by a host of big-wave surfing’s most dedicated performers, uncovered a new realm of bravado. A realm where immortality was not certain, but certainly tested and where Cloudbreak, a wave that had been off limits to the surfing public since its discovery in the early 80s, revealed herself as almost inexplicably frightening and simultaneously beautiful. THUNDERCLOUD is the documentary that traces the history of one of the world’s most controversial and revered surfspots through to this epic day. Directed, produced, filmed and edited over three years by One Palm Media’s Talon Clemow, the two hour film was originally intended to showcase the incredible surfing captured from three key, groundbreaking swells at Cloudbreak, the first of which occurred in 2011. As filming progressed, it became clear to Clemow that a deeper, richer story about one of the world’s first-ever surf resorts, Tavarua Island - established on the atoll closest to the infamous Cloudbreak – had for the most part, remained undocumented and this became the background narrative for THUNDERCLOUD.

One Touch
It is a test of physical endurance in a place where surfing and ocean paddling cross over. The Molokai Channel, a 32-mile body of water that separates the Hawaiian islands of Molokai and Oahu, is a ferocious crossing where mountains of water move across an ocean reaching depths of 2300 feet. It is a place of deep significance in surf culture, being the channel where iconic Hawaiian surfer and lifeguard Eddie Aikau lost his life. But it is also a place of great achievement, one where the Polynesian waterman culture is celebrated and now commemorated through a race that has become known as the world championship of paddle-board racing. Athletes from around the world gather each year to contest the Molokai2Oahu Paddle-board Race, some battling their fellow competitors but most are there to test themselves against one of the world's most challenging bodies of water. These are people whose lives are defined by the ocean, those whose first touch with the sea, that one touch, would go on to define their lives. One Touch follows the journey of three first-time paddlers (surf fitness trainer and ironman Wes Berg, professional surfer Dean Brady and waterman Zeb Walsh) as they set out to test themselves on a journey of personal and cultural discovery and take on the crossing known as the Channel of Bones.
