In the early days of Australia's surf history, young people found a place to live out their dreams of innocence and freedom in the surf but it wasn't to last. With the Vietnam War came an influx of drugs and surfers led a rebellious counter-culture as they dropped out of society to escape to country towns along the coast, while elsewhere a group of entrepreneurial surfers began backyard business making wetsuits and boardshorts. 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. Bombora charts the history of surfing in Australia - the bodies, the boards, the music, the drugs, the fights, the freedom - and shows the cultural phenomenon it is today.
