The construction of a successful film relies on many things but at the top of the list must be spectacular surfing and wave images married to the right music, it is a formula that has typified all the successful surfing films of the last twenty years. Legends is a blend of fast moving surfing action to quick-interview grabs as we build the story of Australian surfing - the champions, the beaches, the competitions, the media exposure, the environment, the industry and the growing threat of American dominance of the surfing scene. Scored by music to suit the mood and the pace of what is being presented with original soundtrack by settlers match.

Legends captures true legends at home in their environment. A first hand interview with Michael Peterson - the only one in some 20 years.
