"There's a point where things become too much. Where you've put everything in and done everything you possibly humanly could and things don't go your way. But it is what it is and you have to enjoy the journey."

 At the age of 40, Cotty had one of his most successful big wave seasons. Edge of the Line journeys through the challenges and approaches Cotty's taken to win through and fulfill his dreams. Filmed by Luís de Sá , he captures the energy, resilience, and unshakeable mental strength it takes to succeed in big wave surfing.
