New! BETWEEN THE LINES PREMIER Video

BETWEEN THE LINES BY PURE FRUSTRATION PRODUCTIONS HONORED WITH X-DANCE AWARDS!


"Launched in 2001, X-Dance runs alongside the Sundance Film Festival, and is widely considered the Academy Awards of the action sports world."

Press Release from Ty Ponder, the Producer of the film on January 21, 2009
We are very pleased to announce that Between the Lines was the winner of the BEST DOCUMENTARY award and nominated for the BEST DIRECTOR award at the 2009 X-Dance Film Festival. It is truly an honor to receive this award, especially considering the extraordinary films produced this year.

Narrated by JOHN MILIUS
(Apocalypse Now - Big Wednesday)

SYNOPSIS

BETWEEN THE LINES explores the Vietnam War through the prism of the surfing sub-culture. The film offers unique insight into the dramatic effect that the Vietnam War and draft had on young American men who rode waves.


Between the Lines explores the choice that most draft age surfers faced during the Vietnam War era: either go to war or evade the draft. It was one or the other. Between the Lines delves into the lives of two surfers who choose opposite paths. Pat Farley and Brant Page.


While following the lives of these two surfers the film chronicles the impact of the Vietnam War on the surfing lifestyle. From the peaceful shores of Hawaii to the canopy jungles of Vietnam, Between the Lines excavates the surfing cultures response to an extraordinary circumstance.

“Between The Lines” opens with narrator John Milius setting the tone: “Soldiers and surfers. Two identities, seemingly opposite. But when the concepts collide, as they did during the Vietnam War, and surfers are told to become soldiers, choices have to be made.”

“This is the soil from which APOCALYPSE NOW grew out of; it's as simple as that.” “Between The Lines reveals a chapter of the war not widely known, outside the fiction of Duvall's character and his famous line, ‘Charlie don't surf.’”
- John Milius

“Today, young surfers aren't faced with the horrifying decision of going to war or becoming a fugitive.”
- Scott Bass, BTL producer

“An Extraordinary, compassionate, and compelling documentary.”
- Drew Kampion, The Surfers Path

“You did a wonderful job and helped me to untie a few more knots. It sat with me all night.”
- John Prietto, Vietnam combat veteran & Army lifeguard

“A refreshing account of an unconventional Vietnam”
- Jannette Angelle,Veterans Today

GillBilly Race Report: SCORE BAJA SAN FELIPE 250 RACE DEBATE

DID ROBBY CHEAT?

The recent SCORE Baja 250 off-road race was colored with controversy as race favorite Robby Gordon was accused of cheating by two competitors for short cutting the course. In Baja race course etiquette it is expected that the participants stay true to the SCORE map of the race path. Allegedly Robby cut across a squiggle in the trail and went down a steep grade and gained an advantage on the Troy Herbst and Mark Post entrees. Robby was behind both those competitors at race mile 130 and was ahead of them at race mile 165 as they passed the GillBilly. This lit an immediate flame of debate at the SCORE command post as the grousing finishers demanded a ruling on the results.

Robby Gordon is a Baja fan favorite as he has not only has his NASCAR team effort but also is one of the most aggressive drivers in the Baja off-road events. Gordon won the first SCORE event at Laughlin, Nevada, and has proclaimed his intent to win the SCORE championship this year. He is, as they say in Nevada betting circles, all in, and will spend the time and money to compete in every Baja race this year… good news for race fans and the SCORE hierarchy. So, it was not a surprise that he was cleared of his supposed wrong doing and maintained his second place overall finish in the event. Brian Collins won his second consecutive Baja 250 and is expected to be a strong competitor in the coming Baja 500 the first week of June.

You should plan to attend this coming Baja 500 race and the Baja 1000 in November as the controversy swirls around the race participants. They are indeed wondering just where they too can shortcut the course to gain an advantage on Robby as it’s now no holds barred in the SCORE race rivalry!

There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind.

Robby Gordon, accused of cheating during last weekend's San Felipe 250 off-road race in Baja California by other competitors who claimed he took a shortcut, HAS BEEN CLEARED by the SCORE racing series.

ON SATURDAY EVENING, A PROTEST WAS HEARD BY SCORE & CRB AGAINST 2ND PLACE SCORE TROPHY TRUCK FINISHER ROBBY GORDON AND A DECISION WAS RENDERED IN FAVOR OF ROBBY GORDON. AN APPEAL OF THIS DECISION WAS SUBMITTED BY A TROPHY TRUCK COMPETITOR ON SUNDAY MORNING AND THE APPEAL WAS ACCEPTED BY SCORE. THIS APPEAL HAS BEEN FORMALLY WITHDRAWN BY THE COMPETITOR. AS A RESULT, THE INITIAL DECISION IN FAVOR OF ROBBY GORDON WILL STAND AND THE SCORE TROPHY TRUCK RESULTS ARE NOW OFFICIAL.

This planet is covered with sordid men who demand that he who spends time fishing shall show returns in fish.
