Bombora - The Story of Australian Surfing Seasons and Episodes

03/26/2009Season 1 - 2 episodes
#1 | 03/26/2009Episode One
Episode one of Bombora looks at the early years of Australian surf history from 1830 to 1964. It charts our first encounters with the surf when swimming in the sea was banned and shows how we were seduced by the freedom of the waves and the beaches. The series takes us into the lives of the larrikins who invented everything from surf skis to shark nets, and also looks at the tensions that arose between 'duty and pleasure', between the growing surf life-saving clubs and those who just wanted to surf.
#2 | 04/02/2009Episode Two
Episode two of Bombora looks at the later years of Australian surf history from 1967 to the present. Using archival footage and interviews, it charts the rise of the surf and drug culture, the start of a hippie trail north to Indonesia, the launch of surfing films and dedicated surf magazines, and introduces the hard men of the 1970s including Michael Peterson and Wayne 'Rabbit' Bartholomew. But the 1980s brought another cultural change, and the success of surfers such as Mark Richards and Tom Carroll helped to clean up its image. As surfers formed boardriding clubs, the sport grew more professional and women were not only welcomed back, they started to win world titles.
