Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, '100 Foot Wave' focuses on the raw pursuit of big-wave surfing rather than forcing identity themes into the narrative. The athletes are profiled for their skills and dedication, with little emphasis on identity politics or forced representation. The story seems driven by merit and passion for surfing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series celebrates traits like courage, resilience, and adventure, with a clear appreciation of risk-taking, values traditionally respected in Western culture. There’s no overt effort to undermine masculinity, family, or religion. If anything, the show uplifts a sense of camaraderie and achievement.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary’s worldview stays laser-focused on the surfing world without making ideological statements. Divergent backgrounds are acknowledged, but alternative worldviews aren't mocked or villainized, nor is there an obvious agenda beyond surfing.
