Storm Riders

Le-Ba boardriders in conjunction with Dick Hoole and the family of legendary (surf) film maker, Jack McCoy present the iconic 80's surf movie, Storm Riders. The film was ground breaking at the time and featured surfers traveling across five continents.

The film put famous surf breaks such as Uluwatu, Nias and G'Land on the surfing map. Surfers include legends such as MR, Wayne Lynch, Rabbit, Cheyne Horan, Tom Carroll, Thorton Fallander, Simon Anderson and Jerry Lopez.

The sound track is a huge part of the films appeal featuring iconic Australian and international artists such as INXS, Split Enz, Mondo Rock, The Church, Australian Crawl, Little River Band, Sharon O'Neill and Mi Sex

Directed by Dick Hoole, Jack McCoy, and David Lourie, Storm Riders is more than just a surf flick—it is a cinematic adventure. The filmmakers mortgaged homes and took big risks to produce what they hoped would be the ultimate surf film.

For many surfers of the 80's, Storm Riders was a call to adventure. It inspired people to travel, explore, and seek out uncrowded waves in far-flung places. It also helped define the surf culture of the 1980s, blending music, travel, and lifestyle into a single, influential package.
