If the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good) 'Leave A Message' trailer doesn't have you anticipating the upcoming month, then I honestly don't know what will.

The Nike 'Leave A Message' trailer is one heck of an epic clip that displays that ladies too, can tear up the waves just as well as the guys do -- if not better. This isn't a lookbook or fashion spread, it's an actual film that will come out in May this year. From what's presented within this clip, the film will likely be a documentary on [females in the world of surfing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-x-queer-surf). It's a very well-shot clip that will have you wanting to hit the beach with a board and ride the waves -- it's definitely working on me.

Look for Nike 'Leave A Message' to come out in the coming month.
