In 1973 surfer and sometime director of photography George Greenhough got tired of the overcrowded beaches of Southern California and set of on a journey of discovery. He designed and built his own surfboards, some equipped with underwater camera equipment. With a small group of friends he built a boat and went off the map to find some waves they could truly call their own. This journey of discovery became a breathtaking cinematic trip. Combined with the music of Pink Floyd, an understated first person narrative, and some of the best surfing footage I believe has been ever shot they created one of the most remarkable works of art ever made.
Director: David Elfick.

Can’t praise this independent film enough! Psychedelic surf masterpiece!
Great soundtrack too!
The Coupe. SB Harbor, Garcia’s Auto Salvage, & the mystery surfspots to the west….. a very close to home Gem of a Time Capsule worth savoring.
