Beyond Sunset follows a war-scarred big wave surfer, Roger Erickson, and his reconnection to his daughter, Emi, by way of the ocean. It’s easy to think that she just gets it from her father, after all, she rides his boards — long, single fin guns. But when Emi is out there charging, riding 15- to 20-foot faces and getting rag-dolled at Jaws, she wants you to know that while it’s in her blood, no one’s on that board but her.
