Littoral Records is your home of what we like to call the “Coastal” genre of music - something that has a relationship with the sea and the surf and the sun. In that vein, you should definitely check out a new Australian documentary about an enigmatic, controversial Australian surfing champion from the 1970s, “Searching for Michael Peterson”.

As a lad I was just old enough to know a little of his infamy though nothing about the circumstances behind his disappearance from professional surfing and the strange direction his life took.

This film answers those questions and it does so with an awesome soundtrack that’s available for online purchase in MP3 on Vitamin Records - you should definitely score that too.

Here’s the trailer for the film, including a little of the music and some great retro footage.
