anyone reading this have heard about Nipper Williams Surfboards. I still have a yellow one from the early 70s (I guess), my first board.

[LucasHunter13]

can u buy this at abc stores?

[ozboomer]

Ahhh, grand... Fanx! Seeing it's on the trailer, I wonder if it's available as a recording at all? ... or maybe I start e-mailing the ABC for info? Hmm...

[FILMAUSTRALIA]

Hi Oz, the tune in the trailer was an original jam recording by Bombora producer and director Paul Clarke. Don't think it's on the doco itself but works nicely for the trailer.

[ozboomer]

Great doco... and the music is great all through the program. Anyone have any clues on what the tune playing in the background is (from 00:03-01:37 or so)?

This show made me appreciate surfing so much more than I already did.
