Saw B.D.T.D at the Aussie premiere at Noosa last March, great movie and a special night with Bugs , MR , Shaun and PT on hand to chat.
From my perspective that era was the beginning of pro surfing and in some ways the beginning of the end, if we only knew then what we know now would we have been so stoked that surfing was getting the recognition we thought it deserved ? Personally I think it lost a lot of it’s essence becoming a mainstream ‘sport’ but there is still a lot to enjoy. The story is well told with honesty from both sides.
