AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In 1973 a family of outcast surfers emerge from a remote south west Australian coastal town to do the unthinkable - build a business centered around their on-edge surf lifestyle. Fighting to stay afloat amidst the scorn of straight society and infiltration from a violent outlaw biker gang, they claw their way to global success.' (Source: worldwidemindfilms.com)
