BS!
Starring: Dusty Payne, Mitch Coleborn, Alex Gray, Ozzie Wright, Nate Tyler, Andrew Doheny
BS! is an out of the ordinary, if not extraordinary surf film that documents the serious ripping of Dusty Payne, Mitch Coleborn, Alex Gray, Ozzie Wright, Nate Tyler, and Andrew Doheny, while revealing their individual characters through thoughtful interviews that quickly slip into honest humor. On top of such humor, the film builds into striking notes of provokingly tweaked sarcasm that is in refreshing contrast to current surf film genre trends.
The surfing takes place in scapes ranging from the dark blue tubes of Australia, to the rich green walls of Indonesia. From California’s Southern zoos, to its Northern secret nooks. From a roping Chilean left, to a warped Tahitian right-hand mindbender. From the proving grounds of North Shore, Oahu, to a freakish Outer Island climax.
Dusty’s surfing earned him “Best Male Performance” at the 2009 Surfer Poll & Video Awards where the film was also nominated for “Video of the Year.” But even more importantly… BS! has been hailed as an instant cult classic by surfers who know their sh!t.
It’s truly the only film where one can witness a surfer turn into a dolphin, a pelican speared by a fly-away board, a nuclear meltdown, and Dusty Payne with a comb-over.
