Hotpipe Hillbillies presented by JOY.
This ain’t Cornwall. It sure ain’t California. But for a tight-knit crew of surfers in Shoreham, it’s home.
On the south coast of England, where the water runs brown and the waves are shaped by concrete, the Hotpipe Hillbillies paddle out.
This locally-made film follows a tight-knit group of surfers – lifers, blow-ins, misfits and mavericks – who have claimed an industrial outflow pipe as their homebreak.
Hotpipe Hillbillies dives into the world’s most unlikely surf scene where community means everything. Through humour, grit, and an irrepressible love of surfing, this locally made documentary captures how passion, not perfection, keeps a renegade crew paddling out.Join us at Komedia Brighton for the hometown premiere – a celebration of local surf culture, creativity, the wild beauty of the South Coast, and of course the colourful characters that call it home.A film made in Brighton & Hove by Friday Film Club Productions
