What happens

Lost Prophets – Search for the Collective is a surf documentary that debuted in the fall of 2009. The film was directed by independent filmmaker Nathan Apffel and chronicles the lives of eight different surfers. Among them are Reef McIntosh, Brian Conley, Dave Rastovich, Hans Hagen, Nole Cossart, and Chris Del Moro. The film was narrated by Tom Morey. It premiered with two showings to crowds of over 1,000 surf and action sports film fans at the Coast film Festival in Laguna Beach, California. After the premiere, the film embarked on a 15-city tour throughout North America, wrapping in late January 2010. As of March 2010, more than 40,000 filmgoers have viewed the surf documentary. Through friends within the surf community, Apffel gathered backers who believed in his film's message, including Kona Brewing Company, who helped fund the tour, as well as ZICO Coconut Water and XS. Pioneering surf magazine Surfer also stepped in as media sponsor for the film, and Lost Prophets was shown in November 2009 as part of Surfer’s 50-year anniversary in Oceanside, CA.
