Description

The uniqueness of the documentary was not only on the protagonists, but on the way it was told. The difficulties and limitations of each surfer were printed on a special built surfboard, used by the youngsters to Surf around Spain.

The surfboards were handwritten with two types of ink (regular and hydrochromic), so when on water, some words would disappear, revealing a message of overcoming. This is the essence of surfing: in the water the problems fade away.

Execution

We've developed a Surf Documentary, about 3 young surfers with disabilities who go over their daily health problems and limitations for the love of the sport. The uniqueness of the documentary was not only on the protagonists, but on the way it was told. The difficulties and limitations of each surfer were printed on a special built surfboard, used by the 3 young surfers around Spain.

The surfboards were handwritten with two types of ink (regular a hydrochromic), so when on water, some words would disappear, revealing a message of overcoming. This is the essence of surfing: in the water the problems fade away.

But we needed to make the action bigger and get more reach to impact as many people as possible.
