BUSTIN' DOWN THE DOOR

if you like to come along please email your full name and will buy your ticket for you

Portsmouth cinema

"Vue"
Monday 28th September

--------------------------------------------------------

Hi there, I work for UK film distributor Metrdome Distribution and we have a film
coming out which may be of interest to you for your website and to your members?
It's a surf documentary called 'Bustin' Down the Door' which chronicles the lives of
World Champions Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew, Shaun Tomson and Mark Richards. The film
covers events from the 70's and documents how these men risked everything to become
the best surfers in the world and inevitably changed the world of surfing forever.

The film will be a limited release but we'll be touring it across the UK from the
4th September. I was wondering if you'd want to cover the release on your website at
all so that any keen surfers will have the chance to find out where the film is
playing so they don't miss it? I've included a synopsis, a link to our trailer and
also a link to the list of dates and locations where the film is playing should you
wish to flag up the film at all.

Synopsis
During the winter of 1975 in Hawaii, surfing was shaken to its core. A group of
young surfers from Australia and South Africa sacrificed everything and put it all
on the line to create a sport, a culture, and an industry that is today worth
billions of dollars and has captured the imagination of the world. With a radical
new approach and a brash colonial attitude, these surfers crashed headlong into a
culture that was not ready for revolution. Surfing was never to be the same again
...

Winning best documentary awards across the surfing community, the much anticipated
documentary film, BUSTIN' DOWN THE DOOR is scheduled for a UK theatrical release in
the Autumn. The documentary film is narrated by the award winning actor Edward
Norton. Featuring interviews with today's surfing greats, Kelly Slater, Rob Machado
and many others, their success can be directly attributed to the radical approaches
and determination to transform the world of surfing these young men set out to do
back in the 1970s.

We could also offer you some special limited posters of the film if you wanted to
give these away on your site at all? Just shout if you'd like any more information.

Kind Regards,

Sarah Faithfull

Record numbers of entries and funds raised!

WELL DONE EVERYBODY! here is our official PR for the event:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
57 competitors turned up to the Annual Charity Paddlerace on Saturday 15th August – the race was held between Shore Road, East Wittering and West Wittering Beach.

We had entries from Kayakers, surfers, paddlesurfers and prone paddleboarders. The weather conditions on the day made it much harder, with a 20knot southwesterly wind, two foot chop and overcast skies; but this didn’t deter the competitors.

At the start of the event the competitors held a minutes silence, for local waterman, Colin McCulloch, who had lost his fight with cancer at the age of 36 a week before the event.

This year was in aid of St Wilfrid’s Hospice and each competitor had to raise money for the charity – although the event wasn’t a race as such, it always ends up that way and a local guy, Keith Rathbone, stormed the day on his surf kayak.

First prone surfer, was West Wittering Estate lifeguard, James Randall; first paddlesurfer – Paul Metcalfe from East Wittering; first surfer was local shaper, Pete Sims; first lady surfer – Mary Roterman; first Junior Surfer – George Low.

There was plenty of youngsters who took part in the event in both kayaks and surfboards, the youngest being Daisy Bassett, aged 6, accompanied by Mum in a double kayak.

When everyone had finished on the beach at West Wittering there was a BBQ and prize giving.

Thanks must be given to all the helpers which include Clive, Adriano, Shag, Graham and Sharon from Shore Surf Club; Chris Rainbow from X-Train; Dave and Martin from Puma Safety at Bracklesham; the lifeguards at West Wittering Estate who provided safety cover.

We should also thank the sponsors – 2XS, X-train, Shore Surf Club, Wittering Surf Shop, Indoboard, The Beach House, West Wittering Estate, Tawny Nurseries & Crouchers.

Event Organiser, Simon Bassett and the Chairman of the Shore Surf Club, Adriano Roldan said “we are really pleased that we have raised £2685.90 for St Wilfrid’s Hospice and we look forward to 2010’s event. Part of the reason that we are involved in running this event is to make people aware of the healthy benefits of getting in the water. Its great fun, it keeps you fit and there is a good lifestyle.”

It was good to see people from the Club entering this event – James Mellor, Archie & Holly, Jane & Daisy, Alexander & James, Henrietta and Susan. ..
