The HBHS Auditorium is such a great venue for the local community and there were in excess of 300 people in attendance. Among the attendees were QS team riders Logan Strook, Quinn McCrystal, Billy Hopkins and HBHS surf team coach Andy Verdone and his lovely wife Shannon as well as former ASP World Champion Peter Townend and his famous pro skater son Tosh. The admission was $10 a person and portions of the proceeds were donated to the same cause as the movie, to help people in Indo rebuild their lives. The movie starts out with Timmy's wife Jessica laying into him and visibly upset about leaving his family to go into the disease ridden and dangerous areas of Indo with longtime friend and photographer Dustin Humphrey. Well, if that wasn't enough, Timmy's mother Michelle threw herself into the mix as well to help with the effort. + Read more.... |  |
