Synopsis

Children of the Sun will stir memories of the happiest days in any surfers life... those uncomplicated hot sunny days... no crowds... never to be forgotten fun filled days. Filmed in 16mm, circa 1965-67, around the virgin coastline of New Zealand and the classic points of Northern Queensland, Australia. Features six-time NZ champion Wayne Parks. Wayne's artistic flowing style of surfing is influenced by Australian legends Russell Hughes, Bob McTavish and the incomparable Californian surfer George Greenough. "The best longboard movie, bar none, from Australia." "A Visual Masterpiece" not since Endless Summer has a surf film projected such dazzeling crisp and beautifuly executed images of the longboard life style.
