The Surf Film Archive: National Surfing Treasures

Sometimes you come across a project that is of significant cultural importance. The team at Surf Film Archive have been 'beavering away' over a number of years to digitize old forgotten surf films. This project speaks to a simpler time as they transport us back to the foundations of this wonderful pursuit called surfing. Bravo! 

"A poetic homage to Australia’s early surf-culture with unearthed footage set to an original soundtrack. Combining hundreds of hours of lovingly restored 16mm footage with a salt-infused soundscape by Headland" Surf Film Arhive

“A breathtakingly beautiful homage to the late ’60s generation of surfers. One for the ages.” 

Check out their footage on Youtube channel as well :)
