Rabbit Bartholomew

Kong's Island

Back in 1983 there were still waves men were forbidden from riding. On Kong’s Island you were only going to score the most perfect wave you’d ever seen if you traversed its jungle with Kong himself. But aside from the spectacular surf there were also amazing electric guitar riffs, whacked out sound effects that coincided with each bash against the lip, and the classic creative genius Jack McCoy himself narrating your entire journey. Kong’s Island is The Three Stooges Gone Surfing, with Rabbit Bartholomew, Chappy Jennings, and Gary “Kong” Elkerton getting barreled silly. It’s such a classic it was featured for the crowd at the 13th annual Surfilm Festibal in San Sebastian. This is one you must watch and reminisce.

Under The Sun

Byron Bay and the Gold Coast are two seemingly opposite Australian surf towns. But beneath the surface they are inextricably linked to a multi-billion dollar industry which thrives on the commodification of the surfing lifestyle. With their populations swelling, resources draining, and housing prices going through the roof, where do these two towns go from here? Where does surfing go from here? Under the Sun is a 16mm documentary shot in Byron Bay and the Gold Coast and features incredible surfing from Dave Rastovich, Beau Young, Nat Young and a handful of others as it explores the roots of commercialism that are now so entrenched in surf culture. Be prepared for a dark and compelling narrative amidst beautiful imagery and a kick ass custom soundtrack.
