Learning to Breathe
Learning to Breathe follows Anthony Ruffo, a 47-year-old competitive surfer and recovering drug user, through his past and present. Anthony must decide whether to continue on his path of addiction and crime or to transform his life and begin to restore the community he harmed. Anthony's surfing history, methamphetamine addiction, criminality, and eventual recovery are all frankly documented. Anthony's entourage, which includes some of the world's greatest surfers, explain Anthony's meteoric climb to stardom and subsequent descent into addiction and lawlessness. For the first time in surfing history, they breach the industry's rule of silence and reveal their own addiction concerns, as well as the subject of widespread drug use in the professional surfing community.
