A survey of surfboard riding in Australia. Interviews surfers and discusses their attitudes. Shows surfing and associated behaviour at Sydney beaches and younger adolescents skateboarding in the streets.
Satire on hedonistic beach attitudes . . . it contrasts the surf-lifesaving movement with the surfie cult of the time. A pre-underground survey of the original Australian drop-outs, featuring the ethos that made Australia great. Martin Sharp, Richard Neville and Kisler pose as get-away-from-it-all surfies looning around in a borrowed Dodge with surfboards that never get wet. Lame-brained commentary by Neville flays "grown-ups" as the most despicable race that ever drove the earth.—Sydney Filmmakers Co-operatives Catalogue of Independent Film
