Vaer Presents: The Way Home - A Surf Expedition to Northern Iceland

Our 3rd film project, The Way Home is a short film that tells the story of renowned surf filmmaker Elli Thor, and his experience uncovering the hidden potentials, and boundless opportunity for adventure in his home country of Iceland. This 6-minute film explores Eli’s journey with surfing, and how it has reshaped his understanding of life in the far north. The story begins with an exposé of the everyday life of a surfer in Reykjavik, before quickly expanding into an adventure film. In the second part of the story we follow Eli as he heads into the remote wilderness of Northern Iceland, traveling by car, boat, sled, and skis in search of great waves, and a new perspective on the place he calls home.
