Sydney – April 2010 – Following the success of the re-release of ‘Ocean Rhythms’ on DVD, I recently commisioned Warren Delbridge at Video-8 to strike the first digital copy of my 1971 surfing film ‘In Natural Flow’.

The original 16mm film print of ‘In Natural Flow’ has been sitting, safely stored in my garage for the last 26 years and has not been seen anywhere in the world. 

So now the good news is folks, we have the first digitalised version of my 16mm film print of ‘In Natural Flow’. The next steps are to clean the ageing beast up a little, by removing some scratches and breath a bit of life back into some of its scenes. The orginal 1971 version has no narration or titles – just music and surfing. So with today’s digital technology we can enhance it a tad in this regard.

In Natural Flow contains classic footage of Michael Peterson and Peter Townend surfing Snapper Rocks and classic 70’s Kirra Point and Lennox Head from 1971. The film also includes the surfing of a host of other 70’s hot legends like Nat Young, Peter Drouyn, Keith Paull, Terry Fitzgerald, Mark Warren, Col Smith [Narrabeen], Andrew McKinnon. 

The current plan is to have it ready for release for the Australian Summer of 2010/2011 – which will be an amazing 40 years after it made its orginal premiere at the Cronulla Community Hall, in Surf Road, Cronulla back in December 1971.

It’s is now in the works. As they say… stay tuned here for further updates.

Please contact me if you want to reserve one of the first copies and I will sign those copies on the cover slick.

We are aiming for a release date for Spring of 2010 – so arround September/October.
