Le Jardin | The Secret Story of Safi

If you found the most perfect wave in the world, would you be able to keep it a secret?

Le Jardin tells the story of Safi, a mythical wave in Morocco that was discovered by a small group of friends in the early 1980s, who swore each other to secrecy and surfed it alone for decades. But a secret this good is hard to keep. Today Safi is widely regarded as the best right-hand point break on the planet and has become famous for delivering endless barrels and bone-crushing wipeouts. But this fame has also led the wave, and the locals who surf it, to a crossroads that will determine the wave’s future.

Join us as we turn back the clock and trace the roots of this incredible discovery, while reliving some of the best waves and biggest barrels ever documented below Safi’s towering cliffs. Along the way we dive deep into the origins of Morocco’s unique surf culture and discover why Safi is one of the most challenging point breaks on the planet – and what it takes to ride it.
