ALOHA IS THE PAST OF SURFER LIFE...........MYSTO YEARS OF INNOCENCE........73 AND READY SOON.....CU SOON JESUS.
Funny, playing "Wooden ships" when at that time I had my 26' wooden sailboat that I would anchor there for days and weeks and just surf and spear fish. Then I would sail out to the Channel Islands and surf and dive for Abalone. I was completely unaware of anything else but the Ocean.
These were the best days to be a surfer. HR was a dream place that will always stay in my mind.
Personally I like that it’s difficult to get in. Keep it like that. I once tried to walk in some 50 plus years ago, via Jalama. Tired and weary turned around after a couple of miles.
As difficult a venture it is to get in im glad of it. Only adds mystic to the whole experience. Turning 70 next week. Man, it sure goes by quickly
We would launch our Zodiac from the beach at Gaviota. You never knew when someone would jam the coin slots with popsicle sticks on the hoist located on the pier. I remember one day the swell was head high and the offshores were so strong it was a struggle for the Zodiac. Needless to say that day was cut short. It just was not safe. But the day was not a complete loss El Cap had plenty to offer. Late 70's were a special time to be a surfer.
Surfed there many moons ago. launched my Boston Whaler off the pier..about 30 minutes up to the point. Surreal surroundings as if no one ever ventured there..has not changed much over the years. Still very private..and that is good. RH
California soul if i could go back.id stay there awhile
God, we were young then. The ocean was our world.
When life was good and living was easy. Sad that those days are gone. Randy you had the insight and the vibe. R.I.P.
What a magic time to live thru.
I'm from Spain and I'm absolutely hooked on watching videos from The Ranch. I don't know, there's something peaceful and magical about them. I hate the thought of private beaches but it wouldn't be so well preserved if crowds were allowed in. Such a beautiful part of the world, gotta visit one day.
When I was in high school,69-71', myself and my 2 best friends used to walk in , on the r, r. Tracks, inthe middle nm of the night.we used to set up a little camp in an arroyo at little drakes.we had barely any sleep and at dawn, got up and could not believe what we saw...4-5', sheet glass, and no one around. I have surfed all over the world, all the top spots, but i will never forget my 1st time to the holy grail
gene West. what year was that
69-71 - like he said bro!
I paddled in from gaviota. had a guy with a car waiting to pick us up. he had pass for himself only. rights and lefts great waves. talked drunkenly to rick griffin a whole night once in redondo about 68. had friends in common. long time ago now.
Thanks Randy Nauert... this is some great footage.. classic Ranch surf with Rick Griffin himself and his surf mobile all in one package! My first several trips to the ranch were when I was 14-15 years old, mid-sixties all night walk-ins from Lompico, with all our food (pop tarts and trail mix and such) in sleeping bags slung over our shoulders while carrying full size long boards and dodging the occasional freight trains. Then we would set up low key "camp" at Government Point, and hope every day that Floyd left us alone. We'd stay for weeks at a time, always fueled with some cannabis and often some synthetics for the all day surf sessions, and very rarely ever saw another surfer. Later some of the "older" Santa Cruz guys (they were like 18 or 20) got a small boat and we'd launch from Gaviota and still always went all the way up to the Point and Cojo's. Man those were awesome days beween 65 - 69. Like someone else already said, there was only the ranch, the waves, and the beach, the entire rest of the world would stop existing. We did though always envy all you guys who had drive in passes. But there were plenty of waves for everyone back then. Thanks again for the fondest of memories.
Remember at age 15 telling my dad there were 100 acre lots for sale at the Ranch for $1,000.00 an acre. this was 1972, he turned a deaf ear to me, now I heard they are selling over 3=4 million for same deal. Crap!
+Rick Monsour I remember the ad too in Surfer. I believe the lots were $100-$300/acre depending on the location.
Just stumbled on this; that’s why they started Santa Barbara surf club w Yater back in day to get passes and respect farmers as Surfers early ‘60 s had an image problem in coastal communities. What a Jem! Loved Rick Griffin cartoons Surfer 60 s 70 s.
Brings back memories when we would boat in from Gaviota.
Love CS and N coming in as Tabeling starts ripping on his space needle. No rocker, thin, and narrow - it's amazing it floated him. He was one of my surf heroes growing up and I watched him on LBs before the short board evolution. An incredible guy. AT Sebastian Inlet he was ripping on a 6ft Weber Pig and could fold that 6'4" frame into the smallest barrels I ever saw. Much respect and a real ambassador form the sport who is sorely missed. RIP Mike
I remember the article in Surfer that had all of the pics of Motorskill and the stills from the Ranch and living in Cocoa Beach and being a grom Tabling was a god, so this is amazing. All I wanted to do was go and surf those amazing waves. Now in my 60s it’s still fresh and gets me stoked.
Rick did some great art for surf movie posters...wish I kept them
What an epic day.
Nice clip from a really great and underappreciated movie. Brings back some pfg memories. RIP most of that crew.
I had a pass into the Ranch winter 69-70. Many fine days at Little Drakes with me and me mates.
RIP Mike Tabeling.
Beautiful little waves at Rights and Lefts, Gosh, I would rather watch this than all the professional surfers these days doing their aireals
"Aerials"...sorry, couldn't help myself.
@@44thenazz Giggle, yep there were areolas on the beach too. Didn't catch my typo....
if there is a heaven I know where Rick is right now at the Ranch getting tubed
Brad McCall, dude was my youth pastor in Honolulu 1974-76
Single fin pre-leash era, boards off the rack were pristine, no plugs
Thank you Randy for posting this! Love it!!
Years ago I went to see a therapist about some family issues. The therapist turned out to be Brad McCall. I didn't want to talk about family issues anymore. Just kept saying to him over and over...." you're Brad McCall???? Really??!!!!
dude no way!!!
Love the bus waves & music groovy man!
Cool vibey ocean, groovey movie.
Angie Reno, he was a rare dude. RIP Bruh
1970. I was 19 but I don't remember being that young...ever.
wow. my dad grew up in the sixties told me stories about it.... eventually he was an owner but sold out before i started surfing

And just think no wet suits. Great watching this. The great days.
Memories...
Epic
All history

paradise lost
BigBishop1 They paved paradise and put up a parking lot😩
Seems like Warner Music made the OP delete the original tune from this clip and substitute the Mexican music? The movie soundtrack is quite different.
Also, RIP Randy Nauert. He was a great guy, and the person who introduced Rick to surfing.

"those days are gone forever,
over a lon-g time ago - oh yeah..." SD
(have to comment on dumb driving amongst stock though - one of the reasons farmers don't enjoy granting access to city folks...just saying it!)
Its a movie. No animals were harmed while making this movie. All of them got treats after work and during their union breaks.

Caught little Drake's on a brutality cold morning when I was 16 with my dad and Richard Silbert best Damn big wave surfer I ever saw. 6am howling offshore wind 12 foot plus back sides, fn insane and I was on a shitty 30$ Aussie boogie board. I didn't know what I was getting into but when you are young and dumb what the hell I thought I can pull this off. We launched from Gaviota pier on a 20 ft Boston whaler and headed to little Drake's. I hung in to far and got immediately fn totally drilled by 12-14 ft whitewash and I though I was going to drown, ripped the leash off me and found myself on the beach looking at 10 ft shorebreak thinking I have to get through it to reach the surf or the boat. Made it back to the lineup and paddled into a monster, I couldn't see because of the wind but a the last second I dropped in and pulled into a monster barrel that you could have drove a truck through. All the while there was a local watching me down the line screaming with his arms up pumping the air. I pulled out of the wave right in front of him and he screamed that was the raddest thing he ever had seen, hahaha those were the days 😅.
very Grennough esque 77C
agree totally!... I half expected GG suddenly appear in his amazing home made boat and jump overboard with his Velo spoon... very reminiscent of 'Crystal Voyager' 👍
Where the locals wouldn't let you go out! They would come out in a boat and if you didn't have an ID! I think they removed you!
yep .before the total invasion . surf and fish .
