The Malloy Brothers are an ode to the origins of California. Dan, Chris and Keith emulate the life of unvarnished surfing in the Golden State. From fishing, camping, rodeo’s and life off the grid, the siblings have solidified their name as some of surfing’s most revered. Here we get a look into the lives of the trio, their roots and family. The Moonshine Conspiracy was also a product of the Malloy’s, founded by their cousin Emmet in ’98, it’s now known as Woodshed Films. They brought us such timeless viewing as: Thicker Than Water, Sprout, September Sessions, Shelter and 180 Degrees South. The boys have been in the mix of taking a stand against surfing’s mainstream plague by keeping to their establishment. The hunt never ends.
