There is a new documentary series coming to Apple TV+ in which film crews will follow several WSL athletes as they compete for a world title.
Apple TV+ has been putting out amazing content since they first burst onto the streaming scene. They now recently announced a new series that will be available for streaming later this month. A new documentary series called “Make or Break” will show the ins and outs of the World Surf League (WSL) and the top athletes as they compete for a world title.

The series will follow the WSL Championship Tour athletes during their 2021 season.
