Surf's Up (2007)

With a documentary crew in tow, Cody Maverick—a young surfer from Antarctica—travels to the pacific for his first professional competition. Determined to earn respect and live up to his idol, Big Z, Cody pushes himself to the limit. But all that changes when an encounter with a laid-back local forces him to rethink his values.

In Surf's Up, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “penguin surf world”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, ambition, community, competition, mentor.
