Synopsis by Kimber Myers
The Newport Beach surf scene in the 1980s drives this documentary about the decade that changed the sport. Echo Beach is a four-block length of beach in Orange Country, but it drew the best surfers from around the world to its waves. However, these surfers didn't just bring their skills -- they brought innovation, building surfing from a hobby to a business fueled by companies such as Quiksilver and Stüssy.
