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...
Narrated by Edward Norton the surfing documentary Bustin' Down the Door features interviews with today's surfing greats, Kelly Slater, Rob Machado and many others, whose success can be directly attributed to the radical approaches and determination to transform the world of surfing these young men set out to do back in the 1970s.
