What Hugh Knew

Hugh Shaw was a quiet, gentle giant (he stood 6’4") who loved life, his friends, family, and surfing. A tight circle of Hugh's friends and family found themselves transformed when his life was tragically cut short two weeks before college graduation. Forty years later, Hugh is still remembered with a multi-generational surf event. This full-length feature documentary film, entitled "What Hugh Knew," explores the universal themes of love, friendship and human connection – timely messages in an increasingly disconnected world. Viewers will discover what Hugh knew and find inspiration to live life fully and passionately.
