This is a short film starring Glen Thurston, hitting rock bottom, being defeated by one of the most dangerous waves around. One simple mistake at this wave resulted with Glen breaking 3 ribs, severe internal bruising and 3 months in the recovery ward. This sparked a new fire within for Glen, to do what it takes, to think clearly and positively and train himself back into the person that could face his Giants once again.
In January 2013, Cyclone Oswald generated a swell, that was bigger then anything before. Glen and his team new this was the Giant, and it was time for Glen to face him alone.
