I checked out the movie description on http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0951318/

and it reads as rubbish and not worth a look.

thanks for saving me the hassle of googling!

You just need to look at the cover and the title of the movie to know it is crap and not worth watching.
There is a lot of these macho I'm a tuff guy load of crap movies around at the moment. Just crims that are showing what they have gotten away with.

Having lived in Maroubra for many years less than a block from the Maroubra Bay Hotel, I have NO respect for them at all.

So these guys are like the wackers of Jackass and do silly stuff, film it and think people will flock to watch it, ha what a bunch of stooges.

I've seen the doc and read a bit about them. I have no respect for them, they are just a bunch of want-to be half baked fame seeking crims. Sure they had dead beat druggies for parents but so do countless other Australian's that don't all go round breaking numerous laws.

Yeah, I enjoyed the film and the perspective from their side. Does not mean I like or respect them at all. At the end of the day they are just lowlife like any other gang member, irrelevant of the good they do, the bad overshadows it all. I have had run ins with surfer gangs before that think they own the beach and the waves. Guys get a life it is there for all to enjoy and not your turf just because you live there. There lack of respect for police is what turned me off. Lets see the other side from the police and people who are not their friends.

Yep no respect from me too, the Seals was another haunt of mine, I lived in Bondi for a few years then Vaucluse for a couple.

Well it was only a matter of time before someone would mentioned those lowlifes.
I was born and bred at maroubra, malabar rd, near maroubra road.
There was a time when I would proudly tell people where I came from, not any more. My parents now live n matraville, even though there are houso's theree and the old spear chuckers is a yuppie pub, it is a better locale to call home. The seals used to be good and the bay pub, don;t know anymore its been yupped up.
Those of you who have only lived there probably wouldn't know the dynamics of the area. South maroubra off Fitzgerald avenue was houso city, if you are an ex houso don't take offence. i went to school with heaps of them and most have moved on and become succesful excpet for SB who has never had a job and still goes to the TAB every day.
The bra boys, 3 brothers, 3 fathers, says it all, probably knew granny although the name doesn;t ring a bell.
The only school in the areas was the bay, 3 schools kindy primary and high, went to all of them, sadly the dollars have turned the high into a housing estate.

Back to the bra boys, there was always a group who surfed at south maroubra, who reckoned the south was theirs, but they were a minority. and there were more of us that surfed the whole beach than them. We all knew each other, there was never any violence.
The story behind their rise to fame was despatching tony hines, I knew him, he was no angel , despised by many.

They are certainly not heroes they are low lifes , and not good examples of eastern suburbs boys.

Dullbird reckons she enjoyed the film , you really need to get out more, these blokes are not your typical beachside surfies.
