A short film that features that Folly Beach SC surfing scene was recently released. Here is an excerpt from a local write up on the subject:

Last year’s hurricane season was extremely generous to the Folly Beach surfing community, producing consistent surf that’s rarely seen in Charleston. Local videographer and surfer Bryant Thomas set out to document the unusual wealth of waves, and after one year of filming, he and his brothers unveiled the short film Waves in Our Pocket. McKevlin’s Surf Shop and Surf Bar hosted the premiere Saturday night on the streets of Folly Beach. A huge movie screen, food and beverage vendors, and a stage kept the crowd contained and constantly entertained.
