Under The Sun Surf DVD By Cyrus Sutton
Under the Sun DVD A Super 16mm, feature-length documentary about two cultures on Australia's eastern coast. The Gold Coast is home to the Superbank (a.k.a. the world's most perfect wave) and the highest concentration of professional competitive surfers on the planet. But travel only an hour south and you'll find Byron Bay, hippy mecca and home to a small group of the finest corporately-commissioned free surfers on Earth. To Outsiders, the cultural divide is obvious. But beneath the surface lies a tale of conflict, ambition, and the creation of a way of life which became a multi-billion $ industry.
Filmmaker’s Statement about Under the Sun:
Under the Sun is the product of two years of living in a van traveling, shooting, editing and animating. From getting all of my 16mm camera equipment ripped-off twice to grinding 80 hours a week in front of the computer, this film has been a lesson in patience. The old adage “good things come to those who wait,” has certainly proven true as two years after its completion I’m final able to share this labor of love with you.
