A Matter of Style May 1, 1976

An epic tale of the last of the long lost soul masters, charging it with the grace and style that made them legends. Rubberman Larry Bertlemann is at his peak. Nineteen year old Shaun Tomson controlling Off the Wall, Backdoor, and radical backside at Pipe, and monster New Zealand in the swell of 1974. Terry Fitzgerald sets V-Land on fire. Gerry Lopez and Rory Russel are annointed King and Prince of Pipeline, while the Aussies, bronzed and otherwise, dare assault their rule. Plus classic Malibu, Trestles, Baja, Blacks, and Honalua.
