Bustin' Down the Door

This ground breaking action-packed documentary takes you back to the winter of 1975 in Hawaii —a dramatic moment in history when a group of young South African and Australian surfers sacrificed everything. They 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. A powerhouse film, the spell-binding action footage and fascinating subjects make Bustin’ Down the Door a surfing classic.

From the Critics...

• “insightful… spectacular”—Hollywood Reporter
• “With verve, style and a fine sense of the human side of surf culture, Jeremy Gosch makes a terrific splash with his debut doc, "Bustin' Down the Door." Pic is certain to rank alongside "Step Into Liquid," "Riding Giants" and "Five Summer Stories" in the primo category of surf movies that rip onscreen and tell a great story. This yarn, about how a group of Aussie and South African surfers took Oahu by storm in the mid-'70s, may be the best of the bunch… sizzling from start to finish”—Variety
• "The most profound film ever made about surfing."—Jim Moriarty, Executive Director, Surfrider Foundation
• “Amazing wall- to-wall footage” Nathan Lee— New York Times
