The story of a free surfing dream that started with the evolution of the single fin surfboard... Starring Terry Fitzgerald and his extended surfing family enjoying classic waves over three and a half decades...
Hot Buttered Soul was a revolutionary four track LP released by Isaac Hayes and the Bar-Kays in 1969. A few months later, 20-year-old Terry Fitzgerald, fresh from a Hawaiian winter season, decided to borrow the name for his surfboard company.
But all three words didn't quite fit on the rainbow sash logo. Thus Hot Buttered Surfboards were born. The movie draws on a deep well of surf cinema heritage to present the surfing of the HB extended family.
The development and designs of HB surfboards built in the 70's stand the test of time when three originals are pulled out of the bag and taken to modern day Jeffreys Bay. Thirty years later those same boards draw lines and find speed like the day they were first launched. Cape St Francis is bigger than ever filmed providing a finale for an epic adventure through time.
Surf Film Festival: Best Soundtrack 2008 - "Hot Buttered Soul: The Movie draws on a deep well of surf cinema heritage to present the surfing of the HB extended family. Choice selections from HB's "Sultans of Speed" series, along with surf flick classics Morning of the Earth, A Winter's Tale, Fantasea, Storm Riders and more, are expertly intercut by editor Mick Waters, with interviews and commentary from Andrew Kidman and Derek Hynd."
