The edgy and raw documentary has won awards from The Newport Beach Film Festival, Santa Cruz Film Festival, Honolulu Film Festival, LA Movie Awards and now the “Golden Lobster” award given to the best film in Portland Maine Internation Film Festival.

Synopsis:
From surfing innovations to gritty localism, follow the rise and fall of The Westsiders surf tribe through the eyes of three best friends from the original ‘Surf City’: Santa Cruz, California. Best friends Daryl “Flea” Virostko, Shawn “Barney” Barron, and Jason “Ratboy” Collins bonded by common tragedy and their love of surfing. They live through shattered homes, drug addiction, other psychological issues and hard-core localism to achieve their dream of becoming professional surfers before the age of 24. To surf the notorious Steamer Lane, they had to join ‘The Westsiders’ Surf Tribe and go face to face with Vince Collier, aka “The Godfather of The Westside”. Vince, a massive brute force, ran Steamer Lane with his own version of street justice. This film explores The Westsiders as the latest chapter in the fascinating history of Santa Cruz, California.

This one is classic, straight outta SC…enjoy

Bryan Stow, the San Francisco Giants fan beaten to within an inch of his life outside Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on April 1. Stow, a 42-year-old paramedic and father of two from Santa Cruz, California, was wearing a Giants jersey as he made his way to his car after the game when he was jumped by a pair of 20-something young men wearing Dodger blue. Witnesses say that as the men brutally beat Stow they cursed the Giants. Stow is still hospitalized in a medically induced coma in Los Angeles.

Bryan Stow is the Santa Cruz man who was brutally attacked while leaving opening day in Los Angeles after watching his team SF Giants and so cal rival LA Dodgers.
