When Matt Archbold started surfing back in 1979 at age 11 the world had no idea that it was about to witness one of the most explosive surfers to ever set foot on a surfboard. With a career spanning nearly 3 decades now, Archy is considered to be the most successful free surfer of all time and one of the originators of high performance surfing. As Martin Potter was setting the stage globally for high performance surfing in the early 80’s, a young crew out of San Clemente led by Archy was about to blow the roof off of surfing.
From dropping out of high school as a freshman at 15 and turning pro, to becoming the poster child of surf clothing giant MCD, Archy’s young life was no dull moment. After he struggled with competitive surfing for the next 5 years, and having some success winning a handful of Bud Tour events, Archy quickly learns pro surfing’s 3 turns to the beach format isn’t for him. He then decides to set out on a fairly new frontier, “free surfing” getting paid to simply go out and get photo’s, something that had not been done up until then. In his early 20’s, his name became synonymous with the legendary surf spot known as “Off The Wall” all the while riding shorter boards in bigger surf something that most had never done or dreamed of doing. Archy’s Ariel attack in the water and explosive surfing revolutionized what we view as high performance surfing today.
“ARCHY” is a timeless film that tells the story of 3 very different generations in surfing. Spanning the 80’s, 90’s, 2000 and on, Archy’s amazing story is one of survival thru surf stardom at an early age, fame, drugs, alcohol, sponsorships and the surf rock star lifestyle. Light will finally be shed on the true-life story of one of the most charismatic and legendary surfers in history.
Compelling interviews, explosive surf action, timeless photos matched with Narration by Henry Rollins from the legendary band Black Flag and set to an all time soundtrack including The Clash, Social Distortion, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Devo, and many others, ARCHY is sure to effect audiences of all walks of life worldwide. This is a story that needs to be told.
1/Q: How do I download from megaupload?
A: When you have the link to the megaupload file that you want to download,
enter it into your browser window. Near the top of the page, where the
megaupload logo is you will be asked to enter in a 3 letter verification code.
Type it into the box, and click the button. Megaupload requires that non premium
members have a waiting period of about 45 seconds before they can download a
file. On the page you should see the counter. When the count down has been
completed a download link will appear. Once you click on the link your download
should start shortly after.
2/Q: When clicking on one of the download links at
megaupload I see the message "The
file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable." Can you please
re-upload the file?
A: "Temporarily Unavailable" means just as it says. The error is usually
generated when there is a problem on one or more of the megaupload servers. When
the problem is fixed at megaupload the link will return. It can take an hour to
a few days. But the link will indeed return. I will not take time to re-upload
such files because they will eventually come back. If and only if the links are
down for an extended period of time will I consider replacing them. DO NOT
report temporarily unavailable files in the reupload request section. You will
get a warning against your account,
