Beneath The Surface

A feature-length documentary that follows the Makapo Aquatics team, a crew of blind outrigger paddlers in Southern California, as they train to compete in the Queen Lili’uokalani Race in Kona, Hawaii. Over a year, these athletes will train for this legendary paddle competition, growing the local adaptive paddling community and navigating their everyday lives with visual impairment.

This is a story about the incredible individuals behind the achievement, a team of passionate athletes who continue to push the boundaries of their sport and redefine the limits of what is possible.

Begins filming in 2024. If you are interested in supporting the project, please contact us below.
