Jess Ponting travels to Papua New Guinea and discovers the indigenous people evolved from surfing on wooden "splinter" boards to making their own boards after the introduction of modern surf technology by a traveling Australian pilot. They discover another community of surfers off the surfing map using no commercial surf products. All the boards were handmade from wood.
