- Butch, one of the greatest longboard surfers of all-time, lived fast and died way too young. He and Mickey Munoz go to Maui in this film footage of "Stop the Wave, I Want to Get Off!" by Jim Wilhoite.
Edited by Logan Gerber.
Lived in Hawaii from March ‘62 to March’64.
Surfed Haneloa March ‘64.
Saw Butch surf all over the North Shore. One of my heroes. He was a cool guy. I was 20 and found myself surfing with all my legends from the surf movies I saw in Cali. They were all very down to earth guys. But I was still intimidated. 🤣
So grateful I got to be a part of that era.
Hawaii was paradise then, I got to spend the 70's there
Fun video! I remember “dragging “ my cousins log to the beach . Man , it was heavy for a 12 year old and turning for a skinny kid was really tough. Would dream of riding like these guys!
You can smell the plumeria and taste the pog in this vid.
Question; Butch are you a regular or goofy foot? Answer; Yes
Coach Edward’s at LJHS said Butch was such a good athlete he could have had a career in the NFL or MLB
ponder this, your sitting on the beach at Sunset, with your 42lb surfboard, thinking, hmmmmmm, I'll paddle out when it gets a little bigger!😆
Honolua Bay December 1964. I was there that day with one of my best friends who was the best surfer in the line up. Mickey was very stoked but we told him it was just an average day. We were bummed because normally we were the only ones out and considered this day too crowded. 😊
Used to hang with a great gal on the North Shore in the late sixties. She had been Butch's girlfriend for several years while he was drinking himself to death. Remember passing by Butch's place at Waimea Bay and seeing the empty Primo cases stacedk to the roof...
@@SuzyAbernathyHerron was it Beverly? She was awesome. I interviewed her for my book on Butch
Thanks for sharing this memory of my 2nd cousin Butch. Died way too soon!
fantastic surfer
Long way from ljhs
Meant butch at the hobie shop with Bob bermell in the 60's
@@KentKiner-dt5rp Bob Bermell. There is a name.I haven't heard in a long time. He was there the 1st day Waimea was ridden. Whatever became of him?
Charles M. Van Artsdalen--One of my most favorite surfers of the 60s.
So Butch started tow in surfing and not Laird and the strapped grew.
* chuckle * Love it! BTW, Laird told me that Butch basically taught him how to swim the North Shore and navigate its treacherous waters when he was a kid.
He and my Dad were friends in La Jolla
What was your dad's name? I might know of him
...great carpenter!!
Heavy he was amazing😮
Butch Van Artsdalen… so great a talent.
I wish he had taken care of himself.
We called him Mr Pipeline
after a couple of Mai tais, let's get small. ..
Pan Am what a massive airline.
How cool❤
RIP Butch .. you left us way too soon.
Thank you for this compilation
great video
Butch was the master of switch stance
The great Mickey Munoz traversing down each step
Mickey used to sail with an old friend of mine, Dick Livingston. Anybody here remember him?
He was big into the Manhattan Beach volleyball scene. A party on two feet, he was. 😊
Butch and his switch stance capabilities inspired so many great names of surfing.
What films are these footages from?
1965 😎
