The ‘Coming of the Dawn’ provides the film’s famous finale, a pioneering triumph of slow motion footage that enables the audience to see inside the most coveted perspective of surfing.. the Tube.
Innermost Limits of Pure Fun is seen as one of Australia’s cult surf movies and has recently been restored from the original 16mm film masters to 4K cinema with surround 5:1 sound.
