Ever heard about Super Session, the iconic movie of the 70's? It inspired the whole Dogtown generation as it is for many the best surfing ever filmed in that decade. It was filmed in Hawaii, California and Australia and it focuses on a very experimental era of surfing as you will watch not only traditional surfing but also bodysurfing, knee boards, snow skiing and much more. The main star of the flick is Larry Bertlemann with a sensual style that many tried to imitate, while the truth is that only a few were this imaginative, cool and talented in the whole history of surf.

No one had a greater influence on the way people surf, from the best in the world on down, than Larry Bertlemann. The only son (he has four sisters) of a former survival instructor for the U.S. Air Force, Lawrence Mehau Bertlemann was drawn to adventure at an early age. Born in Hilo, on Hawaii's big island, where his father ran an auto shop, Larry spent his early childhood hunting pigs and fishing with hand-lines, without so much as a thought on surfing.
