Vision Films to Release ‘Sound of The Surf’

Vision Films Inc. (“Vision”) has set July 1, 2025 for the North American Transactional VOD release of the documentary Sound of The Surf from the late Thomas Duncan and executive producer John Blair. Written, directed, and produced by Duncan and executive produced by John Blair and Isariya Duncan.

A story 17 years in the making, John Blair, of Jon and The Nightriders fame, persevered to complete the film after Duncan’s passing in 2021. The use of original music, rare archival footage, photos, and exclusive interviews defines the birth and legacy of the uniquely SoCal surf sound. Unknown to many, the innovative sound of surf music began as instrumental and became a cultural phenomenon almost overnight when the world of surfing claimed it as their own during the transitional time of the 1960’s. Witness the rise and influence of the electric guitar and the relevance of the band in pop culture still today while rocking out to the soundtrack. 

In the 1960’s, surf music was born in southern California and quickly became a global cultural phenomenon. From the original pioneers to those who revolutionized it, surf music’s influence helped to shape an entire generation. Journey back in time with original music, rare archival footage, personal photo collections, and exclusive interviews from surf music legends and their fans.

Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films says, “A perfect film for summer – this is one of the most thorough narratives about the birth and meteoric rise of one of the most fun and enduring music genres of our time. Sound of The Surf truly captures the nostalgia of an era but reminds us that the music is still relevant and enjoyable today.”

Executive Producer John Blair shares, “The development and spread of the surf music genre in the early 1960s had a pronounced effect on the music industry and popular culture. The story is a definitive example of the American Dream, told for the first time in Sound of The Surf.” 

Sound of The Surf will be available on major streaming and cable platforms across North America, followed by DVD on July 1, 2025.
