Wonderful stuff what durable specimens these guys were with excellent endurance, swim, lifeguard, and paddle skills I wasn’t aware of

11 years later (1987 - 1990), I had the pleasure of riding the waves at Onslow Beach and just about every surf spot between the Outer Banks and Wrightsville Beach. Spring, summer, fall, winter, didn't matter as long as the waves were on. Thanks for the video my friend, good stuff indeed! 👍 👍

Yeah Tim!

The supertones got “it”.

💯💯💯👍💛💛💛

Who knew? Miami. Looks like it was filmed from the South Beach Pier.This could also have been shot from the Sunny Isles Pier.

Great song

Nice song

I also appreciate what Larry says about staying low through the carve, and then unweighting and weighting. I use the same principles now, but I now have a kite that can unweight me when I follow through on a carve. Mind you, I do these maneuvers on flat water with no waves.... and zero crowd factor. Total surfing bliss.

What a great interview. Thanks for posting! I was surfing big waves back in those days. Sunset, Pipe, Laniakea, Portlock Point, when town was closed out. Rabbit Island. I completely agree with Larry's philosophy. I now have developed my own style of kiteboarding, and my own boards and gear for that style - its like surfing double overhead Sunset with never a crowd. I don't jump or do trix. I just "power-loop & caaarve." I'm now 67, and still getting the same rush.

If only the Beatles had met them. Might have spared them drugs.

Wtf is everyone? This album kicks ass! Put it through some good speakers and turn it up!

This is so good!

The two best of their time. Thank you.

all style - thank you

Another one of these mysterious songs I can’t find anything on…???

The legendary supertones.

Did Tim Sullivan write this tune?

Walt Phillips the producer and director of this film was a friend of mine. Unfortunately all that's left of his films are CDs that were poorly scanned from copies on videotape in the late 1980s. His original prints were all destroyed in the Malibu fire a few years ago they were at the home of Challengers guitarist Randy Nuert preparing to be digitally scanned when Randy's home Burned. So all there is of Walt Phillips film legacy of the late 50s and early 1960s are these old video copies. Walt has passed on someone needs to make it their project to attempt to restore Walt's films from the CD tape copies.

Fantastique I was myself, shaper in Hawaii in 1972 For Lighting Bolt🙏

Those guys were insane to ride those boards in those waves. 🤪

I made a great decision today to listen to this great album! Fantastic.

Cowabunga-What-Excitement!!! Many thanks for this fun & historical film. May the Kahunas bless you. Wishing good fortune to you and your dear ones. Peace.

Historically and unequivocally epic -- Thank you!

Great tune!

What a class act…RIP both Greg Noll and Bruce Brown. You will truly be missed

As a Navy Pilot stationed at NAS Barbers point and a California experienced surfer I lived right on on Makaha Beach for three years starting in 1962 in one of four beach shacks in a grove of palm trees at the north end. My neighbors in the close in shacks were dear friends Buzzy Trent and Dorian Paskowitz. Going surfing with these two as well as two more dear friends Buffalo down the beach in his lifeguard shack and TV actor Jim Arness from Gunsmoke at a beautiful beach home (also right on the beach) was a real treat. Jim was a really good surfer and rode a giant board. Lobster hunting with Buzzy off the reef behind our shacks was a little dangerous due to the Moray Eels in the crevices. I think there is an error in the narration. Midget Farrelly and Nat young on their first visit to Hawaii were my houseguests during the tournament Farrelly won on the smallest waves ever - none more than two feet and those on the reef behind my shack. i have the photo. Both were 18 years old then. In the narration Farrelly was identified in the 1957 tournament won by Paskowitz. Midget would have been 12 years old in 1957. That fellow in the video with blond hair had to be someone else. All of these mentioned have been life long dear friends as well as many others in this video. Now, a multi story Condo sits atop the site of our beach shacks. it was a good run though.

Awesome!

LOVE it! Surf culture owes so much to these guys.

Anyone know what that big metal cage was in the Santa Monica surf footage?

This one's great !

This is an awesome video! Thanks for sharing Timothy! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏

this surfing is far more difficult and critical than what the pros are doing at the contest going on right now

The iconic image is and will always be the only perfect surf photo

did seal beach still do that cloud break thing it does back then ??

Yea, I was friends too.

I had a few boards EXACTLY LIKE those redwoods, except being 5'10" , made of foam and weighing 6 lbs.

Herby F. He's might of been the best surfer on earth at one time. He was surfing like no other human at sunset in this movie.

Great film and thanks for sharing🤙

That was quite a time. I found two unknown surfers: Wingnut and Joel Tudor and put them together with Skip Frye and Donald Takayama. I ended up doing to VO, and directing. Cleveland produced it. Greg Weaver did the filming. Kind of a rush job, but fun nonetheless.

Blast to revisit those incredible memories

Where was lance Carlson and flippy Hoffman. Maybe they were just groms at that time.

So cool to here about what some of these guys were know for. Like being the guy at alo Moana or a guy who always surfed the inside at sunset. The chargers , the stylests and so on. I watched this all the way through.

Dropping late from the lip back then on those boards was hairball 😮

The wake that comes off the side of these boards while riding is like 5 or 6 feet. Amazing control of those logs man!

Artist

Very cool Love the old Santa Monica, Venice and Malibu hustory!!

Great movie, great history of the early days on the North Shore. We want more!

He definitely raised the bar in the 70’s 🤙🏼
