L'extrémité d'une digue, avec des enfants et des femmes en habit traditionnel. Une barque entre dans le champ de la caméra par la droite, souquée par deux hommes dirigés par un troisième. L'esquif tente de contourner la pointe de la digue, mais la houle la repousse, la met de travers et le contournement est interrompu par la fin du bobineau de pellicule.

Le film montre un train arrivant en gare de La Ciotat, ville proche de Marseille. La famille Lumière possédait une résidence à La Ciotat, ce qui explique le choix de cette gare plutôt que d'une autre.

Le réalisateur Bruce Brown suit deux surfeurs, Mike Hynson et Robert August dans un voyage autour du monde. Malgré le climat agréable de leur Californie natale, les courants froids rendent les plages locales inhospitalières durant l'hiver. C'est pourquoi, aux côtés de Rodney Sumpter et de Nat Young, ils décident de voyager vers les côtes de l'Australie, de la Nouvelle-Zélande, de l'Afrique du Sud, de Tahiti et d’Hawaï, en quête de nouveaux spots de surf - et de la vague parfaite. Ils en profitent pour introduire les locaux à ce nouveau sport. De nombreux surfeurs connus apparaissent durant leurs aventures, Miki Dora, Phil Edwards et Butch Van Artsdalen.

The film is centered around narration of excerpts from Vincenzo Rabito's memoir, Terra Matta. Rabito begins with his background in Sicily. He was born in 1899, and at a young age, he was pulled out of school to earn a wage for his family after the death of his father. As a teenager, he was drafted to fight in World War I. In some excerpts, he relates some of the atrocities he committed during the war, including assisting a friend in sexually torturing a young Italian woman. Following the war, Rabito worked in German mines until the beginning of World War II.
