SEARCHING FOR MICHAEL PETERSON, SURF DOCUMENTARY BY AUSTRALIAN FILM DIRECTOR, JOLYON HOFF

OCT 9 2009

LIVE MUSIC, BEAU YOUNG AT 8PM AND FILM AT 8:40

AT LA PERLA DEL MAR CHAPEL
205 WINDWARD AVE
SHELL BEACH, CA
(CORNER OF PIER AND PEARL)
Michael Peterson ruled the surf scene throughout the early to mid-1970s with his savage, groundbreaking surfing. An undiagnosed schizophrenic, Michael couldn’t handle the fame his surfing powers attracted, and he retreated into a world of hard drugs, fast cars and shadows. He eventually hit rock bottom after a car chase, which took 35 police cars to stop him.
Thirty years on, MP is still vitally interested in the sport and culture of surfing and is a fixture at most Queensland events, enjoying the action with his mother, Joan. He is rightly regarded as an iconic figure in Australian surfing, and Hoff’s film, while it pulls no punches, is an intensely moving tribute to the man.

‘The story of Michael Peterson makes Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas look like Alice In Wonderland. ′ -- Sean Doherty

Surfer Magazine has nominated Michael as the #16 all-time greatest surfer in the world
Adding a special touch to the U.S. tour is Australian singer/songwriter Beau Young (2 x world champion surfer) in concert. Beau retired from professional surfing in 2003 to focus on a fulltime career in music. He has gone on to record 2 albums and performed at many of Australia’s most respected music festivals and toured through Japan & Europe. Beau has an obvious affinity with the film and story of Michael Peterson, being the son of one of the worlds most recognised and famous surfers (and MP’s predecessor), Nat Young. This will be Beau’s first official U.S. tour.
