SYNOPSIS
In Venice, California in the mid ’70’s, the sport of surfing brought together a group of teenagers from a rough neighborhood.
Riding the waves at the Pacific Ocean Park pier, a graveyard of a former amusement park, the boys from “Dogtown” joined the Zephyr skate team (or Z-boys). Known for their aggressive style, awe-inspiring moves and hard street attitude, the Z-Boys spent mornings and afternoons skateboarding.
Taking the death-defying moves of surfing and applying them to skateboarding, the Z-Boys became overnight sensations – local legends – and revolutionized the art of skateboarding, transforming youth culture forever.
