Out Of Place is the story of surfing in Cleveland, Ohio. Since the 1960's an underground surfing community has thrived on the southern shore of Lake Erie. For the surfers it is a world of dedication to the water and to waves that rarely come. In the backdrop is a Great Lakes city trying to recover from a legacy of lost industry, lost jobs and a river polluted enough to catch fire. The surfers persist despite harsh weather and gray skies. For them, the golden era of surfing is right now. And its happening five hundred miles from the nearest ocean.
