Daybill Poster with striking Brian Clinton artwork. Windrider (alternatively worded as Wind Rider and also known as Making Waves) is a 1986 Australian romantic comedy film directed by Vincent Monton and starring Tom Burlinson (The Man From Snowy River), Nicole Kidman (BMX Bandits), and Bud Tingwell (The Castle). It was filmed in Perth, Western Australia, Australia. First adult character film role for Nicole Kidman whose previous film credits had been in family or teen movies such as Bush Christmas (1983), BMX Bandits (1983) and Wills & Burke (1985). All these three films had had an Australian classification rating of "PG" or "G". As such, this movie was the first time that Kidman appeared in a movie with a higher classification rating which was an "M". Kidman is on record as saying it was an opportunity for her to play an adult. Actor Tom Burlinson did most of his wind-surfing sequences himself.
