SYNOPSIS
After 20 years at the top of competitive surfing, Leti Canales takes a moment to look back. In an introspective and emotional journey, Leti relives the happiest moments of her surfing childhood: championships where the focus wasn't on winning, but on enjoying time with friends and family in magical places.
This documentary follows her as she returns to those key locations, but now without the pressure of competition, rediscovering surfing through freedom, local culture, and the value of the little things.
