Gary Elkerton

Shot completely with 16mm film. The original classic cinema surf flick, featuring Hawaii, Australia, California, Mexico and Exotic Isles. “Blazing Boards” captures the very essence of what riding waves is all about. If you love the ocean then be sure to check out the best surf film of the 1980’s. “It never drags, it’s full of red hot surfing. Bystrom satisfies the hunger for high performance surfing” – Surfer Magazine “The best surf film since Endless Summer” – Channel 7 TV Brisbane. “Too savage for words” – Surfing Magazine.

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.
