Aqua Surf Shop and Wavefest present "ATTACK OF THE AUSSIES," Thursday,
April 17th at the Balboa Theatre.  The double feature consists of surf film
premieres, Poor Specimenıs "3 DEGREES" and Billabongıs "FRAME LINES."

"3 DEGREES" is the latest surf flick to come from the folks at Poor
Specimen
(distributors of "September Sessions" and "Shelter").  This is the
follow-up
surfing production from Australian producer Matt Gye, who also produced
acclaimed video "Montaj".

"3 DEGREES tracks the first ASP year of rising super stars Joel
Parkinson,
Mick Fanning, and Dean Morrison as they compete around the globe
through
five continents.  The program starts with the young menıs personal
development from childhood to the present.  Insightful voice-overs
provide a
candid look into a mixed year of highıs and lowıs of competition for
the
trio on the WCT.  Expect to see some incredibly high-caliber surfing at
some
of the worldıs best breaks.

"FRAME LINES" is the latest video release from the fine folks at
Billabong.
Filmmaker Bali Strickland (Evolv) presents 45 minutes of Billabongıs
best
team riders just killing international surf.  Strickland reinvents the
"team" style video using unique techniques, including pole-cam behind
the
jet skis, inventive uses of light, and film work that's both sharp and
smooth.  But with surfers Joel Parkinson, Taj Burrows, and Andy Irons
at his
disposal, it would be hard to botch the flick.

Many other top surfers join the fun, including Rasta, Occy, Egan,
Dorian,
Dylan Longbottom, Donavon Frankenreiter and some special guests. 
Strickland
busts a tight editing style, and includes some great tunes to come from
folks like Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, and Grinspoon.
