A film by Sean Duggan about the dawn of surfing in Ireland.

”Keep It A Secret recounts the inspiring true story of the dawn of Irish surfing and how the sport’s brave pioneers found the peace in the surf during the most violent years of The Troubles conflict.

It is a chronicle of boundless idealism in the midst of a violent conflict. It will take you on a stunningly beautiful ride through rough waters to reveal how surfing gave an exceptional collection of young people hope at a time of bitter despair; how the sport would forever change their lives; and how the tight-knit, rebellious community they formed would leave a lasting impression upon Ireland.”
