Around the World in 80 Waves (1989)

a Chris Bystrom film

"Around the World in Eighty Waves" picks up the action in Sydney, Australia, highlighting the final ASP event and Damien Hardman's convincing victory. Next, it's off to tropical Indonesia for a new island discovery, "Sumbawa," then back to Australia to catch some huge cold-water power out west! Halfway around the world, spicy Puerto Rico is calling, so off we zoom to catch some east coast winter barrels. Finally, we rush back to Hawaii just in time for possibly the best surfing event ever: the 88/89 Billabong Pro, with all its drama & surprises.

Jeepers Creepers, what more could you ask for? "Around the World in Eighty Waves" stands and delivers double-barreled surf action that will have you foaming at the mouth. See it now before the end of the world!
