Up North follows former professional surfer Joackim Guichard as he leaves the competitive world behind in search of a deeper purpose and a meaningful life — his true north. After years on the surf circuit, he realises that competition no longer fulfils him. He journeys to Northern California, where he seeks solitude, inner clarity and a reconnection with nature, facing cold waters, great waves and the raw beauty of the wild coast.
