Special Screening: Channel Man - Col's Story

  • Pacific Palms Recreation Club 3957 The Lakes Way Elizabeth Beach, NSW, 2428 Australia (map)

A VERY SPECIAL SCREENING OF “CHANNEL MAN - COL’S STORY” - A DEEP DIVE INTO THE LIFE OF UNDERGROUND SURFING LEGEND COLIN SMITH FROM REDHEAD, NSW.

In 1977 Col Smith burst onto the world surfing stage a near unknown. He arrived in Hawaii with unseen and unproven surfboards, blowing away the competition in the Pro Class Trials. In doing so he became the first “goofy-foot” to win a surfing contest at Sunset Beach. His contributions to Channel Bottom design and innovation are immeasurable, as was his impact on surfing and his peers. An impact that is still felt today.

Featuring interviews from:

Mark Richards, Tom Carroll, Wayne Lynch, Terry Richardson, Michael Ho, Peter McCabe, Rory Russell, Nick Carroll, Derek Hynd, Phil Fraser, Wayne Bartholomew, Martin Littlewood, Phil Myers and more…

This is a ticketed event. Tickets $20 and available here.
