“Their search took them via Fiji and New Zealand to end up in Sydney for the showdown… Where the Australian team of Ted Spencer, Midget Farrelly, Russell Hughes and John Monie dominated with their shortboard power surfing and the vee bottom board design proving more maneuverable than the American’s longboards … The movie’s title focuses on the emerging board design developed by Bob McTavish redesigning conventional longboards, influenced by George Greenough’s practical thinking around shorter boards, making higher performance surfing possible, and Nat Young proving the results with his world title victory.”
