Film Synopsis
WATER BROTHER is a feature documentary that follows the life of Sid Abbruzzi, an East Coast
legend and culture icon. The film explores Sid's lifelong passion for surfing, skating, and his
commitment to protecting the sport's history and culture.
Through a mix of never-before-seen archival film, personal interviews, and large format
cinematic footage, including interviews with culture giants such as Tony Hawk, Shepard Fairey,
Selema Masekela and more; this documentary takes the audience on a journey through the
history of surfing and skating - from 1960s Newport to Santa Cruz, Cocoa Beach, South Africa's
Jeffrey's Bay, and beyond.
As Sid approaches the age of 72, the film captures the final days of his famous Water Brothers
Surf & Skate shop, set to be demolished. It delves into the impact of the shop's closure on the
local community and the broader surf and skate world. 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. 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.
