God went surfing with the Devil

Its heart warming to know that despite the difficulties in ravaged Gaza Strip, a band of Palestinian and Israeli folks refuse to let the bombs and embargoes stop them from going surfing. While the surf scene is reasonably developed outside of Gaza, in the strip everything is difficult to get hold of, but that seems to drive the small band of surfers there on to do more. The whole things been documented in a film "God went surfing with the Devil" by Alex Klien; and I'm going to try and track down a copy to watch, its got to be a different kind of surf movie, and the sort of film that shows how fanatical us surfers are in the face of adversity. If anyone has seen it already, let me know, I'd be interested to know what you thought of it.
