Bra Boys surf Ours

Bra Boys surf a crazy slab in Australia called Ours. Waves break over the rocky headland which results in some heavy tubes and even heavier wipeouts. Surfers get rag dolled into the rocks, watch till the end to see the consequences. Not nice.

 Bra Boys – The movie

The surfing of Ours is taken from the movie called Bra Boys. Movie directed by Sunny Abberton and Macario De Souza talks about the inner-Sydney beachside suburb of Maroubra and the story of the tattooed and much maligned surf brotherhood known as the Bra Boys. This is not an ordinary surf flick with bunch of beautiful barels, tropical islands and sunny beaches. The trailer looks like it was filmed in a war, gangfights, police, blood, fire, riots. The film also exposes the story of the Abberton brothers. Their mother was a heroin addict and surfing became their escape from drugs, poverty and violence. Two years ago, Abbertons became entangled in a court case resulting from the death of a notorious Sydney underworld figure Anthony Hines. Older brother, Jai Abberton was acquitted of the murder earlier this year even though he admitted shooting Hines. You can find the interview with younger Koby Abberton, where he talks about the trial, his life and stuff here.

Watch the trailer for Bra Boys.

    Found this about surfing Ours:
    The Bra Boys are widely considered (incorrectly) to be the first people to surf the heavy reef break known as “Ours”. The story goes that a The Bra Boys saw a bunch of bodyboarders pulling into the heavy reef and making it out. They then started surfing it and only allow surfers on the break now.

    Mofe info from the site:
    It is the first full-length film project being undertaken by, and officially sanctioned by, the Bra Boys. It is their story. It shows their success in professional big wave surfing, it explores their international reputation for hard partying and rough justice, it touches on their running battle with authorities and it shows their absolute reliance on one another to fit into a society in which they are displaced and, at times, disinterested. It shows how the evolution of Maroubra, coupled with the historical stigma associated with Australia’s rebellious surf community, has contributed to their social displacement.

    Central to the story is the true-life struggle of the Abberton brothers – Sunny, Koby, Jai and Dakota … one charged with murdering a Sydney standover man, another pursuing a professional surf career but charged as an accessory in his brother’s legal fight, another trying to hold the family together and a young brother whose inheritance is his siblings’ notoriety.
