Following from my blog yesterday I read some more about the Bra Boys who are a surf gang based in Maroubra. They are the guys who surf the big waves off of Cape Solander which we visited on Monday. This massive waves don't break somewhere safe like onto the beach but in fact onto the rocks. Anyway, I did some reading about them and found a documentary film that they did back in 2007 called Bra Boys - Blood is thicker than water.
It really is very interesting and I learnt so much about the Abberton brothers, surf culture, surf history, poverty & a different way of life really. I have been thinking about them and their story all day actually.
Here is the link to part 1, it comes in 6, 15 minutes sections and although a little shocking in parts truly amazing to watch and understand their lives a little.
When the video ends you will be able to see the other parts ready to be played.
Amazing, moving & eye opening.
