Dick Hoole is a successful film-maker, who started out with Jack McCoy back in the mid 1970's and whose first film 'In Search Of Tubular Swells' (1976), is one of our favorites....with hero footage of many of the 70's characters, and a killer soundtrack! (Today available on DVD.)
Dick Hoole then went on to finish his second surfing film, StormRiders, again with Jack McCoy.Dick is a very helpful and giving person who is well travelled thanks to the Classic Surf Company, and his wanderings around Australia playing Santas Little helper..but also dozens of trips to Indonesia taking wonderful images and helping on film projects. From his early experiences laying out BackDoor magazine, he knew what sort of a task lay ahead, and helpfully pointed out some of the pitfalls and later, advised on some of the places not to bother visiting...
Dick Hoole has a library of images that are now becoming well recognized, particularly his shots of Michael Peterson and other 1970's icons. What is Dick Hoole's Job? It used to be full tilt distribution of surfing videos...today, he still helps people out who need things, facilitates independent filmmakers fantasies of finding archival material, a historical librarian, and Works closely with Mex Sumpter. |
