The Westsiders (2010)
From surfing innovations to gritty localism, follow the rise and fall of The Westsiders surf tribe through the eyes of three best friends from the original 'Surf City': Santa Cruz, California. Best friends Daryl "Flea" Virostko, Shawn "Barney" Barron, and Jason "Ratboy" Collins bonded by common tragedy and their love of surfing. They live through shattered homes, drug addiction, other psychological issues and hard-core localism to achieve their dream of becoming professional surfers before the age of 24. To surf the notorious Steamer Lane, they had to join 'The Westsiders' Surf Tribe and go face to face with Vince Collier, aka "The Godfather of The Westside". Vince, a massive brute force, ran Steamer Lane with his own version of street justice. This film explores The Westsiders as the latest chapter in the fascinating history of Santa Cruz, California.

    A movie speaking volumes into the lifetime experience

    A movie delving into the personal experiences with the sacrifices thereof towards providing the viewer with first hand impact into the lifestyle into a depicted area of the world of surfers. This movie may not be for everyone as it does not document in many time frames sequencing into actual footage of surfing but rather is an account of what became of individuals lifetimes mostly aside from the actual sportive footage while living into becoming a surfer. The film could actually discourage surfing by providing very detailed tragic sacrifices that would for most in the sportive put the sport to stand as that sacrifices have to be made in order for accomplishments to be had. In present day understanding the individual usually has sportive abilities while developing along the born with athleticism trait as this usually provides the basic frame work of understanding into the professional sportive. This film portrays the individuals that did not have previous generations of athleticism/sportive into their experiences and in deciding in soul and spirit the surfing sportive paid consequences for their endeavors. A life learning film about the dangers associated with attempting to pave new routes within respective lineages or in then attempting to establish a sportive lineage within.
