Beyond Blazing Boards (1985) — Filmed, Edited and Directed by Chris Bystrom

An absolutely action-packed surfing adventure with an up-to-the-minute examination of what high-powered surfing is all about. Filmed in Bali, Australia, Mexico, and California — from perfect 12 ft. Padang Padang to a close examination of the dramatic pro surfing tour. Only Beyond Blazing Boards tells the full story of surfing's evolution in the mid-80s. Plus, a red-hot cartoon by Academy Award-winning animator John Lamb called "Secret Spot."

Also released in Australia as Wave of the Future.
