Clip description

In Bali, a pair of young surfers has found a new break. This is some of the first footage of Uluwatu, a now legendary surf spot in Bali, with 14-year-old Steven Cooney from Narrabeen surfing alongside former US Champion Rusty Miller. The music is by Tamam Shud, an influential and highly innovative Sydney band of the late 60s and early 70s.
