Proximity

The film does not include any LGBTQ+ characters or stories about non-cisgender identities. It focuses solely on the professional and athletic achievements of the surfers.

The film features eight elite surfers, but does not specify the gender breakdown. It follows a traditional model that often emphasizes male-centric athletic showcases.

While the professional surfing circuit is globally diverse, the film's use of 'exotic destinations' may suggest a Western-centric perspective. There is no confirmed intentionality toward representing multiple aspects of diversity.

The narrative celebrates traditional values of adventure and individual mastery. It avoids critiques of Western institutions, capitalism, or religious structures, focusing instead on sporting excellence.

There is no indication of neurodivergent individuals or those with physical disabilities among the featured group of elite surfers.
