Waveriders is a 2008 documentary film. The film was produced by Margo Harkin and directed by Joel Conroy.
Waveriders focuses on the Irish roots of surfing. The film covers the life of Irish-Hawaiian surfer George Freeth and his influence in popularizing surfing in California and his contributions to lifeguarding. It also follows Irish, British and American surfers Richie Fitzgerald, Gabe Davies, Kelly Slater and the Malloy Brothers. The surfers conquer enormous sixty foot waves - the biggest swell to have been ridden off the Irish Atlantic Coast.
Irish surfer Easkey Britton is also featured in the film and was the first female surfer to ride the "big wave", Aill na Searrach off the Cliffs of Moher in 2007.
Director Joel Conroy began planning the film in 2005 when he read about George Freeth in a newspaper. He researched Freeth's background, tracking down his friends and relatives. The film was in development for 3 years; filming was over 2 years. It was shot on 35 mm film to give it a vintage feel.

When lonliness lays
her huring hands on me,
There's a place I always can go
I'll pour out my soul, to my old piano
And I let those old ivories cry for me
Ivory tears, ivory tears,
my old piano cries for me,
Ivory tears, ivory tears,
dripping from every melody
Some lonely people,
they turn to the jukebox,
Others turn to whiskey and wine
But, when it's crying time for me,
well, I turn to my ol' piano
And I let those old ivories
cry for me
Ivory tears, ivory tears,
my old piano, it's crying, crying
Ivory tears, ivory tears,
