Jamie Budge made multiple surf films, in the 60's into the 70's. This film started out when longboards were still the norm and then transitions into the short board revolution.

At the time it was obsolete before it was even finished. But today it's a great look into how it all went down. Finally, after almost 40 years, the film has been restored and layed to DVD.

The film features many of surfing's top stylists, including Miki Dora, John Peck, Bob Cooper, David Nuuhiwa, Corky Carroll, Midget Farrelly, Dewey Weber, Nat Young, Dru Harrison, Dale Dobson, Mike Purpus, Bob Baron, Jay Riddle, Angie Reno, Brad McCall, Rolf Aurness, JoJo Perrin, Davey Hilton, Jerry Lopez and Clyde Beatty Jr.

And it shows how their styles and performance developed and changed with the times.
