‘On Top of the World’ Is a Beautiful Adventure Story About the Search for Empty Waves

It’s about surfers searching for pure emptiness.

Johanna Brebner and Aiyana Powell know how to find adventure. And they find plenty of it in Iceland. They  definitely surf the big right-hander you’ve seen in plenty of Icelandic cuts. But the two also find out-of-the-way spots by tromping through the snow. Filmed by Ishka Folkwell, On Top of the World follows a pair of intrepid surfers as they search for the very thing every surfer is looking for: pure emptiness.
