THE FILM 
——————————-

‘Bustin Down the Door’.

The award-winning documentary, narrated by Edward Norton is a dramatic story of
a pivotal time in surfing. During the winter of 1975 in Hawaii, surfing was shaken to
its core. A group of young surfers from Australia and South Africa sacrificed
everything and put it all on the line to create a sport, a culture and an industry that
is today worth billions of dollars and has captured the imagination of the world.
With a radical new approach and a brash colonial attitude, these surfers crashed
headlong into culture that was not ready for revolution.

BUSTIN' DOWN THE DOOR chronicles a tumultuous two-year period of competitive
and cultural clashes in the mid-Seventies in surfing's Mecca - Hawail's North Shore
of Oahu - as a small crew of Australians and South Africans set out with attitude and
determination to change the world of surfing.

Framed around the emerging careers of World Champions-to-be Shaun Tomson, Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew and Mark Richards, Bustin Down the Door documents how these young men risked everything to become the best surfers in the world, and how their courage and vision began a cultural
revolution that led to the birth of professional surfing and ultimately what has
become today's billion-dollar surf industry.

The film was directed by Jeremy Gosch, and was produced by Shaun Tomson,
Monika Gosch and Robert Traill; this is Gosch's first documentary film.

Bustin Down the Door was filmed on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii and features iconic surf footage from the best of the mid 1970s films 

Along with and a epic soundtrack that includes , Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and Leonard Cohen.

Among the many notable surfers and pros interviewed
for the film were lan Cairns, Peter Townend, Michael Tomson, Tom Curren, Kelly
Slater, Rob Machado, Barry Kanaiaupuni and "Fast Eddie" Rothman.
