Wow I had high hopes for this. It was meant to be the story of Rip Curl/Quicksilver/Billabong surfwear and a famous chapter in Australia's fashion and cultural history. But the writing was awful just minutes in. It always had the potential to go 'soapie' but to see it suck so hard so quickly made me sad.
I couldn't last one episode. Great idea, great concept, APPALLINGLY executed. I feel bad for the guy from Puberty Blues (which was an ok series) as he's now typecast as the dumb vacant blonde surfer dude.
The pitch would have looked good on paper. But on the screen this sucked so hard. Made me sad to see the potential wasted.

Needed to be complete recast, rewritten and done again.
