Men of Wood & Foam

The Men Who Shaped Australian Surfing. The Story of The Brookvale Six.

IMDbDocumentary

Filled with rare archive footage and frequently hilarious interviews with the trailblazers themselves, Men of Wood & Foam is a compelling look at Australian surf culture in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Looking at surf music, industry development and the historical context of the era with the biting wit writer and surf journo Phil Jarratt is known for, the film is a lively and fun look back at an era that now feels almost mystical.
