Inflection Point is an intimate, honest look at four stories, lived out
in real time by four very different, young professional surfers.
Imagine devoting your life to something you love. Imagine crafting your whole being toward a year
that gets you in position to share the stage with the world’s elite, an elite group who also share
this same exact devotion. Then, picture mustering an additional hyper focus to fulfilling that dream
during pivotal said year and the realisation comes down to one of two final events. Both of them in
the hardest of conditions yet.
Now, athletic world tours are no singular entity. There’s the PGA for golfers, the UCI for cyclists,
but no tour culminates at one of the most difficult and often largest competitive waves on the
planet like the World Surf League’s qualifying tour does at Sunset Beach on the North Shore of
Oahu.

Indeed, for six weeks a year, the world of elite professional surfing converges at the North Shore of
Oahu for the VANS Triple Crown of Surfing series. While hundreds of surfers from around the world
will compete in the year’s final two events (at Haleiwa and Sunset Beach), only 10 spots can be
secured there for the following year’s World Championship Tour Top 34, the ultimate goal of all
that devotion.
Enter Cam Richards, Barron Mamiya, Benji Brand and Jack Robinson. For all four of these surfers,
the events at Haleiwa, let alone the final deciding one at Sunset Beach, will either make their life’s
dream come true or tragically send them home to reset the following pro season.
"That feeling of coming in after a heat at Sunset that decided if you qualified,” says Cam Richards,
shaking his head, “It’d be a high that you could live forever." Cam is a quiet charger on the
qualifying series tour (QS) from South Carolina. While the waves rarely get over head high where
Cam’s from, he’s been bagging waves at Pipeline lately that have been considered for the
prestigious, annual Wave of the Winter award. With a high placing, such as a final, in both events,
Cam could be on the 2020 World Tour.
