About Billabong Challenge: Alley Oop & Wide Open
As modern surfing leaps into the future, a new breed of hot young surfers merge the energetic moves of snow & skateboarding with the traditions of rhythm and flow, as they feverishly attack any wave, in any condition. Challenging eight of the world's best juniors in a revealing expose of the next generation, 'ALLEY OOP' stars Andy Irons, Taj Burrow, Chris Ward, Michael Lowe, Shaun Holmes, Ono, Yuri, and Tim Curren. The winners of seven international BILLABONG regional events were invited to compete in the 1998 BILLABONG JUNIOR CHALLENGE. Contested over 3 rounds with accumulative point scores, the extreme energy and intense rivalry set the stage for top Aussie Juniors to do battle with hot major talent from Hawaii and the USA. Featuring Andy Irons, Taj Burrow, Trent Munro, C J Hobgood.
Directed by Jack McCoy, Billabong Challenge: Alley Oop & Wide Open leans on a strong ensemble — Andy Irons, Taj Burrow, Chris Ward — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1997.
