Depicts the dynamic, space age surfers of the 1960's who 'feel the juice' of the ocean's swell's. They are 50 of the most well known surfers from around the world.

An epic tale of the last of the long lost soul masters, charging it with the grace and style that made them legends. Rubberman Larry Bertlemann is at his peak. Nineteen year old Shaun Tomson controlling Off the Wall, Backdoor, and radical backside at Pipe, and monster New Zealand in the swell of 1974. Terry Fitzgerald sets V-Land on fire. Gerry Lopez and Rory Russel are annointed King and Prince of Pipeline, while the Aussies, bronzed and otherwise, dare assault their rule. Plus classic Malibu, Trestles, Baja, Blacks, and Honalua.

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 a culture that was not ready for revolution. Surfing was never to be the same again.
