The gnarly sports doc everyone has slept on

The Overlooked Sports Documentary

The HBO series 100 Foot Wave is a captivating show about big wave surfers who risk their lives for an adrenaline rush, rivaling the quality of The Last Dance.

Author's summary: HBO's 100 Foot Wave is a must-watch sports documentary.
