I lived up the street in a condo and surfed lunada for many years; 76-86. We never had a gang and never called ourselves bay boys. All spots on the planet are localized. hags is localized with non pv residents. It sounds like some locals at lunada have done some bad things in the last 30 years; documented in your video.

I just left the museum in Hermosa and now want a South Bay board❤

What about Busy bees sandwiches

I think it's even simpler than this in places. In the 50/60s rationing was still happening or a very very raw memory. So things like coffee and alcohol (not to the same extent as in the war. But production hadn't stepped back up yet) were prized beverages. Everyone got a tea ration. So bond eating a mango (believe that's Dr no? Where there's half a page talking about how nice the mango is) drinking coffee. And especially drinking coffee with booze would allow the average brit under rationing to go "oooooh I'd love a mango about now" you don't get the same effect with a cup of tea.

Or… is it…. 😂

Catfish… I don’t suppose you could give a quick watch to my James Bond coffee or tea video? I changed up my sound recording techniques and would love to get your feedback on if it improved or not. I value your opinion. TY

Just a quick note to say it's impressive how bad the audio quality is, and how inconsistently bad it is. Could be bad room echo, or background hiss, or maybe too quiet, or maybe this vid will be too loud. Oh, and I detect distracting music in the background, just slightly quieter than this hiss? Just awful

Very interesting

Great channel. More mini docs on surf stuff please

More surf content 🗣️

I'm a fan. I grew up in P.V. in the 1970s. I hope you continue. Subscribed.

Grew up going to see the Dominator. Then the fishing barge broke its anchor chain and drifted into PV and sank….

Still have my old Bing and Unity boards. So where are shapers getting blanks, nowadays? I think Clark Foam is no more.

FIRST

Excellent video, everyone that I know agrees with you God Bless

Watch at 1.25x speed

Call me a skeptic, but this seems alot like a 23 minute propaganda piece to rationalize years of bad behavior... including intimidation, vandalisim and violence. Here's the difference between North Shore localism and whats been going on in PV. At the North Shore, regular folks native to the islands are being "displaced" (in the water and otherwise) by people of wealth and entitlement. In PV, its people of wealth and entitlement "displacing" regular people. There's a difference... and that's why one is more objectionable than the other.

I'd say you pretty much nailed it! Localism is just a problem of human nature, it happens everywhere if you look. The PV issue was made worse by the money & the power it gave those there & those that wanted money for their own (professional) reasons/lives. When it became clear that (actual) laws had been broken with no ($$) accountability, it was just a matter of time for the lawsuits to be filed, where the legal fees always outweighed any mitigation. Some lawyers made a profession out of suing the State "for/protecting the public", now remotely using Internet (tech) & Google (info)! These (crowding) issues happened all along the Coast as the population continued to swell in the Coastal Plain of California and human nature simply revealed itself in oh so many ways! I worked at an Environmental Foundation where we documented the (actual) "public access" points along the CA Coast. Even with maps it often took alot of effort & time to find these (official State) access locations due to how the wealthy homeowners would develop (hide) the area around their homes & pass (HOAs) rules regulating parking/stopping. In Hawaii (Kia) 5-0 (Cops) showed up before our photographer could even walk to the beach to document access and had parking/stopping regulations so strict visitors had to be dropped-off to visit/use the beach!! Even the Cop was embarrassed to be there, but that was his job...... The unfortunate truth is that there is really no human activity/experience that will NOT be negatively impacted by just simply adding more & more people to it until (eventual) drama happens.......enjoy & appreciate Life (activity) while you can. Mahalo.

Thanks for the great history lesson and vintage photos... When I reached the surfing age in the late 70's, E.T. Surfboards (Eddie Talbot) > (Dewey) Weber Surfbards > Rick Surfboards and Jaob's Surfboards were all in a row (relatively speaking) along Aviation Blvd and PCH in Hermosa Beach... Body Glove and Dive N Surf are (still) just down the street and around the corner from all of these. Dennis Jarvis worked at E.T. for many years before he started SpyderBoards further north on PCH and now on Pier Ave in Hermosa and Manhattan Ave in Manhattan Beach too. Phil Becker and Steve "Man-Jelly" broke off from Rick's and started Becker Surfboards. There' is a very rich history in this area from Malibu to Lunada Bay. Hermosa Beach had the most surfshops and famous surfers by a wide margin. E.T. Surfboards still exists... I wish that you would have mentioned it. "Eddie" always took care of the poorer kids by cutiing them deals on Ts, wax and trunks... I know, because I was one of them - Thanks ET!

Growing up surfing down in San Diego in 80s/90s, I heard rumors of Lunada. Moved up to LA area in 00s and scoped Lunada several times but never had the stones to surf it due to the lore. I suppose the localism worked in that sense. Sweet vid, glad it made it into my recommended feed.

Hi, thanks for your video! 22:54 I'm an ex surfer who dedicated 15 years immersed in surfing. Santa Cruz, SoCal, lived in Hawaii - Kauai, Maui, for many years in the 60's and 70's. Local tribalism has always been a problem due to the fact that waves are a finite resource, and when demand ( crowds) outpace supply , tensions arise. "Success" of surfing has created way too much demand coupled by the fact that a majority of those out in the water dont know what they are doing and have very poor etiquette but heh we all start out as kooks. What we are witnessing is the end of those idyllic days when you could go out with some friends, go out in the water, socialize, catch a few waves and cheer each other on. Its sad but we live in an easily accessable world where even the most remote places are accessable by almost anyone which makes it too easy for those who just want to dabble can travel there as they dont have to work very hard to get there. For this reason i gave up on surfing and only occasionally keep up with the sport with videos such as this. Thanks again :)

Grew up in Redondo in the ‘60’s and there was a ton of localism, and PV was pretty bad. As for public access and development , what they did in Oregon (where I now live) is declared the beaches public highways so they couldn’t possibly be developed.

really interesting you're saying the lawyers were interested in money, when they did over 4 million in pro bono work

nice video, i made a couple videos surfing there. happy to surf there again this winter

1' - '25 beretta , 2'- Walter ppk 7:65mm 3'-colt 38' 4'- colt 45' automatic 5' AR-7' survival rifle guy yammering on the video forgets or doesn't know that the quality of the revolver is that they never jamn

You didn't mention the order of the Vesper in Casino Royale?

great video, but let's be real, product placement is as old as time. also it's quite quiet. other than that, really brilliant

Another interesting video. Back in the day I was at a private fan event and we mixed the martinis according to Flemings recipe. I must say, that I did not really like it that much. I became a whisky man until the day I gave up on booze altogether. My new vice became tea, something James Bond would never drink. 😁

Thanks mate, this was a very informative video and something I longed for in a long time. I am a huge Fleming Bond fan. Always kinda preferred the books to the films. Having pictures to the weapons described by Fleming makes the renewed reading experience much more visual.

DOUBLE DEADLY 👍👍👍

I lived at the El Prado apartments in 1984. Used to stare at the bridge a lot. Sad to see that the shamrock roller rink is gone.

Do one about madrona marsh

Well, that's totally random. The first 25 seconds are out of focus. Not sure why.... If it's not one thing, it's another.

Great memories. I grew up on Catalina Avenue two blocks south of Torrance blvd. Went to the redondo pier pretty much every day of my life. Del Amo and the old time malls…. Thanks!

VELZY is the OriginaL LocaLBoy !

You like your guns don't you?

I don't even like to have Superman and Batman in the same universe. After all, Superman is so proficient at what he does that he makes Batman superfluous. Same would happen in a world with Bond, Solo, and Kuryakin.

Oh, sorry. The video length is only 13 minutes. But my ineptitude in editing means that it (allegedly) lasts longer. My Bad. Still learning.

TOTALLY grew up with Revel models. Another great video

Video is 10 minutes, not 2 hours. Rookie editing move left the entire ambiance soundtrack playing because… I’m still learning editing. Decided to keep this video up with the error because… it’s a reminder that I’m a hobbies and am far from perfect.

mythical algorithm pull

Another great video, with Vasquez rocks!!! Used to hit the one on PCH and Torrance blvd. I think that’s an early restaurant . I moved to oregon in 1986, and we didn’t even get anything remotely like Mexican food until the 1990’s

Nice job, my Dad grew up in Hermosa surfing with all those guys, 19th St. Surfing Seals, he has a plaque on the Hermosa Pier Surfers Walk of Fame. He had Velzy make his boards from the 50's then into the 80's and 90's. I now have a few of them. Velzy's memorial was one of the greatest gatherings of all time. My Dad was also contemporaries with Bing and rode those boards in the 60's and 70's. As well as spending time on the North Shore of Oahu in the late 50's and early 60's . I could go on and on. My Dad's first custom board was shaped out of balsa by Simmons in Santa Monica around 1950, the he had to glass it himself! You are so right about the moderns surfboard industry was really started in the South Bay- Hermosa Beach. I talk about it often, so thank you for putting a cool video out about it. With music, The Lighthouse on Pier avenue was a major Jazz club as well. I think most of the coolest things that our culture considers cool came out of the South Bay. I really appreciate the way you handle negative comments, or any snarky comment. Your demeanor is a lesson for all of us. Thank you bro!

Wow, this is bringing back a TON of memories, like your surfing videos. My brother had one of those Shelby cobra mustangs. Thanks tons!!!

I grew up in Redondo Beach during the 1960’s and always heard for Parnelli Jones, but I had no idea he was from Torrance. I used to go to Ascot raceway all the time!

Amazing channel. So well researched, cant believe i didnt find it sooner. Feasting on these episodes

They tore out the red car line in the 1950’s, but a remnant of it was at the corner of Diamond and PCH where the old station was. They dumped a bunch of the cars off around Knob Hill and the avenues, which creates a nice break when the summer monsoons hit from the south west
