A short feature film of the extraordinary life of 1960's pioneer big wave surfer, Ric Friar. (Voiceover by Mark)

This is an award winning film about the story of a man who drowned… and came back from the dead to sleep with the world’s most iconic supermodel, Twiggy. A big wave pioneer who “died more times than Jesus”, a man who constantly risked his life to find life, to find the edge or reason and overcome it. His name is Ric Friar and this is a story of ‘Phenomenality’.

And like all good movies there was sex, death, bar brawls, and a heap of shit.  Friar literally became the “King of Poo” and made a fortune in the process. It’s a life that sequences more like a feature length dream: a truly wild concoction of adventures constantly intersecting with equal measures of insanity and bravado, an unbridled grabbing of life by the balls.
