Filmmaker Richard Yelland charts California surfer Dick Metz’s journey around the world, and his role in inspiring one of the most beloved surf docs of all time.
“A perfect movie,” said the New Yorker. Every surfer’s dream in the 1960s was to explore foreign places, finding waves that had never been ridden. But what was the dream before the dream? Rewind the clock to 1950s Laguna Beach. Pioneering surfers such as Metz and “Peanuts” Larson were exploring the waves around where they lived. Hobie Alter started making wooden surfboards out of his dad’s garage. It’d become the nexus of the surf culture explosion only a few years later.
Discover the breaks that would later become legendary in Bruce Brown’s classic The Endless Summer – also screening this SWIFF’23.
