A surf film based in 1970s Hawaii is coming to cinemas in Brighton for a two-week stint before touring the rest of the country.

A1Surf.com have partnered up with film distributors Metrodome to do a tour of the surf documentary Bustin’ Down The Door.

The film chronicles a tumultuous two-year period of competitive and cultural clashes in the mid-Seventies in surfing's Mecca - Hawaii's North Shore of Oahu - as a small crew of Australians and South Africans set out with attitude and determination to change the world of surfing.

Framed around the emerging careers of World Champions-to-be Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew, Shaun Tomson and Mark Richards, Bustin’ documents how these young men risked everything to become the best surfers in the world.

It will show at the Odeon on the seafront September 23 - 24 and at the Duke of York’s cinema in Preston Circus from September 20 - October 3.
