Description

[Machine Translation] Wayne Lynch is the surfer who brought the underground scene into the mainstream. He won the Australian Open, but was forced to withdraw from the competition when it was suddenly decided that no one under the age of 16 was allowed to participate. His surfing was so different that it stunned the adults of the time, and here was a child prodigy, winning the Australian Junior title four years in a row from the age of 13. 1968 USA Surfer Magazine published a photo of Wayne's backside re-entry, and the world took notice. The following year, 1969, the Australian prodigy became an international hero with the release of the film "Evolution. His self-sharpening shortboard tore vertical waves and changed the maneuvers of the surfing world. In 1972, Wayne was declared unable to surf after a motorcycle accident and malaria in Bali. Two years later, however, he made a comeback by winning "Surfabout," the world's biggest prize contest at the time. He has been compared to Hawaii's Gerry Lopez, but he is known as an "underground surfer" because of his extreme aversion to mercantilism. He was the driving force behind the shortboard revolution, and without Wayne, surfing would be different today. He is truly a charismatic figure in the world of surfing. Uncharted Waters" is a documentary that captures the life of Wayne Lynch in its entirety, focusing on Wayne alone, but it also conveys the essence of surfing.

Description in Japanese

未知の水域 / ドキュメンタリー

アンダーグラウンドというシーンをメインストリームにまで高めたサーファー、それがウエイン・リンチだ。オーストラリアのオープンで勝利するが、急遽16歳以下は参加不可能となり、優勝を取り消された。他とは圧倒的に異なるサーフィンは当時の大人を愕然とさせ、ここに神童が誕生する。13歳から4年連続で全豪ジュニアタイトルを獲り、1968年USAサーファーマガジン誌にウエインのバックサイドリエントリーの写真が掲載されると、世界が注目した。翌69年フィルム「エヴォリューション」の上映で、オーストラリアの神童は世界的ヒーローとなる。自ら削るショートボードで垂直に波を引き裂き、サーフィン界のマニューバーを大きく変えた。またヴェトナム戦争への兵役を拒否して世間から消え、ウエインの存在は神秘的になった。1972年、バリでのオートバイの事故とマラリアでサーフィン不可能と宣告される。しかし2年後、当時世界一の賞金額のコンテスト「サーフアバウト」で優勝して復活を果たす。ハワイのジェリー・ロペスと比較されるが、極端なまでにマーシャリズムを嫌い、世間から「アンダーグランド・サーファー」と呼ばれる。ショートボード革命の立役者で、ウエインがいなければ現代のサーフィンは変わっていただろう。まさにサーフィン界のカリスマである。ウエイン・リンチの生涯を余すところなく捕らえた「未知の水域」は、ウエイン一人をフューチャーしたドキュメンタリーだが、サーフィンの本質を伝える作品でもある。
