Episode Info
Synopsis
This film from the mid 70's explores the limits of performance surfing at that time. A group of imaginative young surfers radically changed our concept of wave riding. These surfers perform their dance on tubular swells that even today's heroes might not have attempted.
Made by Dick Hoole and Jack McCoy, edited by David Lourie, presented the dream of the hottest surfing of the time with a fresh and imaginative approach that has entertained generations of surfers and non-surfers alike. Every wave is worth watching. Every wave is a treat. You'll see the best in Australia, Hawaii and then secret spots in Bali and Indonesia. Spectacular travel sequences show lush island paradises of sparkling beauty, with long outer reef break tubes.
Tubular Swells should create a new high standard of truly professional entertainment for surf documentaries.
