In the early 1970s, Alby Falzon was a young surfer, photographer and magazine publisher who decided that he wanted “to make a really beautiful film about surfing”. Scraping together just enough money for petrol and a few rolls of 16mm film, Alby began periodically driving up the north coast of New South Wales with a couple of surfing buddies and ended up creating one the classic surf movies of all time - Morning of the Earth.
