Hey Dorado,
I got the Search DVD Box Set Actually. It was released in 04 and quickly taken off the shelves when Rip Curl realized that they didn't have the legal authority to distribute the film in DVD form. Their contract was only for VHS. I was talking to Sonny about it last year at our event we did with him. Rip Curl didn't want to pay him or Arno Kimsey, the musical genius behind the films, the royalties they deserved. It was a big legal mess and that's why it hasn't been released. What is more disappointing is that Rip Curl hasn't said a word or paid any homage to Sonny in any of their social media. Sonny, DH and Curren made Rip Curl relevant in the 90's after they went bankrupt in the lat 80's. If it weren't for them, Rip Curl wouldn't have been what they are today.
