Alpha: The Absolute Origin (2025)
Friends since childhood and now competing together on the Championship Tour, João and Samuel set out to create a film that captures more than competition. Filmed across Indonesia, Portugal, Tahiti, El Salvador, Mexico, the Mentawai Islands, and Brazil, Alpha follows their pursuit of world-class waves, personal growth, and the experiences that shaped them into two of surfing's brightest stars.
