Dog Town and Z boys (film review)

I finally found spare time to watch this movie. Whew. I thought that this is an actual movie but its a documentary. It focuses and the Z boys from Dog town. They were surfers who lived in a not so friendly environment in Santa Monica(actually you can call it a slum) who became, in my own opinion, the God fathers of modern skate boarding. They were called the Z-boys because they rode for a shop named Zephyr surfboard shop. The shop was owned by Jeff Ho, who greatly influenced the Z-boy. 
Here is the list of the Z-boys

  • Jay Adams
  • Nathan Pratt
  • Chris Cahill
  • Wentzl Ruml
  • Shogo Kubo
  • Peggy Oki
  • Tony Alva
  • Bob Baniak
  • Paul Constantineau
  • Jim Muir
  • Stacy Peralta 
  • Allen Sarlo
This film is very educational and i really had fun watching it.
