In a fishermen's village of the Bay of Bengal, a group of young Burmese kids live their happy-go-lucky life with a unique obsession: surfing. They are the first, the only ones. Meanwhile in Yangon, a determined craftsman begins to shape the very first teakwood surfboard; a symbol for the future generations breaking the status quo. Just like a tale, Springtide celebrates this instinctive need to follow your dream.
