language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('shit', 'bloody', 'piss', 'dick', 'hell' and 'God').
injury detail
There appears briefly on a laptop screen an image of a surfer's leg, badly broken following an incident while surfing a big wave. There is evidence of exposed bone through broken flesh. This is accompanied by the surfer himself talking about the real dangers of riding extreme waves, going on to describe other serious injuries he has suffered. There is also brief video footage of the surfer coming to the surface after a wave crashes over him, with some evidence of blood in the water around him.
additional issues
Another theme of the documentary is the mental health of the young surfer who, along with his parents, made the decision to leave school as a result of severe incidents of bullying. There are recollections to violent encounters with other boys, as well as the emotional toll that such experiences have taken on the young teen. However, these sequences are frequently counterbalanced by scenes in which surfing is shown to be helping to improve the boy's confidence and feelings of self-worth. There are also mild verbal sex references.
