Without the Sea is a documentary about people who dedicated their lives to windsurfing, made in collaboration with the best Czech windsurfers, Tom Malina, Petr Kabát, and Martin Ovsík. The Czech Republic has no sea and no perfect conditions, yet for these athletes windsurfing became a way of life and a passion they carried to a global level.

Why This Film Matters: Without the Sea is a quiet lesson in persistence, that a goal held stubbornly enough will find a way, even without the obvious means to reach it. It's an ode to loving a sport your geography says you shouldn't.
