(Overview)
Glacier Surfing is our documentary about Jorge Abian and Eurico Romaguera’s pioneering expedition in Greenland, surfing waves generated by a calving glacier. Far from a conventional surf break, the story brings two surfers into a landscape where the source of the wave is moving ice rather than an ocean swell.

(The Expedition)
Jorge Abian and Eurico Romaguera are at the centre of Glacier Surfing. Their Greenland expedition takes the search for a wave into unfamiliar territory, bringing surfing into direct contact with the scale and unpredictability of a glacier. The documentary follows a pioneering undertaking without reducing its participants to the moment of a ride.

(Ice & Water)
Calving occurs when ice breaks away from a glacier. When that ice enters the water, it can displace a large volume and generate powerful waves. These are not predictable surf conditions: falling ice, floating debris and sudden water movement create serious hazards. Glacier Surfing documents an exceptional expedition, not an activity to imitate.
