Buoyancy. A Surf Story From Taïwan

Synopsis :

Sur la côte est de Taïwan, Apoo Lee tient le surf shop Buoyancy Board Store. Une vie simple et tranquille. “Au fond, de quoi avons-nous vraiment besoin ?, s’interroge Apoo. Quelques belles planches, de bonnes vagues, de bons amis, et ta famille qui filme ta plus belle vague de la plage.”

“Taïwan est un pays sous pression, mais les personnes que je rencontre ici veulent simplement être libres — guetter les vagues et voir où l’océan les porte..”
Jonathan Strömberg dit « Jonis Strom », réalisateur suédois

On Taiwan’s remote east coast, Apoo Lee runs Buoyancy Board Store – a small, alternative surf shop built on craft, community, and the stoke for Taiwan’s
ever-changing waves. At a time when surfing feels oversaturated, Apoo’s world is a reminder of what it’s really about – a life shaped by the ocean and the people who share it.

« Apoo is an absolute legend! It’s a joy to shine a small spotlight on him. Taiwan is a country under pressure, but the people I meet here just want to be free –
to chase waves and see where the ocean takes them. »
Director & Filmmaker: Jonathan Str.mberg « Jonis Strom »

As Apoo Lee puts it:
« We’re just trying to bring more beauty into surfing.
Because in the end, what more do you really need? A few sick boards, fun waves and good friends. And your family, Choya and Mumu (The star of the movie) filming your best one from the beach.”
