“Water Brothers” Surfing Film To Be Screened At The Dreamland On Wednesday

Water Brothers: The Sid Abbruzzi Story, a film that touches on surf culture in the east coast, will be screening at the Nantucket Dreamland on Wednesday, August 21 at 7 p.m.

The film has opened in other markets already, however it will be exclusively at the Dreamland on Wednesday and is not playing anywhere else at the moment.

The film follows the life of surf and skate core legend and cultural icon Sid Abbruzzi, and his commitment to protecting the sport’s history and culture.

“Through a mix of never-before-seen archival film, large format cinematic footage, and personal interviews from culture giants like Tony Hawk, Shepard Fairey, Selema Masekela and more; we are taken on a journey through surfing and skating history - from 1960s Newport to Santa Cruz, Cocoa Beach, South Africa's Jeffrey's Bay, and beyond,” the filmmakers said in a press release. “As Sid approaches the age of 72, the film captures the final days of his famous Water Brothers Surf & Skate shop as it is set to be demolished and the impact it had on the surf and skate community. The documentary emphasizes the importance of memory, personal history, and living in the moment, reminding us to cherish our past and preserve cultural heritage.”

“WATER BROTHER is a poignant reflection on a life well-lived and a heartfelt tribute to the enduring spirit of surf culture,” they continue. “It celebrates the individuals and places that transcend surfing and skating from mere hobbies, showing how one man's dedication can inspire an entire community.”
