- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- During spring break in 1975 Dave Bence, Frank Dorenkamp, Pat Fulks and I went on a surf trip to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina from Alexandria, VA. The surf was good but we keep going and drove to Florida to surf at Sebastian Inlet and New Smyrna Beach in Florida. Great trip! The Cape Hatteras lighthouse has been moved since then. Filmed with my 8mm camera. Music by Wishbone Ash: The King will Come & Blowin Free.

No cell phones. No body knew Where you were. True freedom.
Yeah but see if u had cells in those days. Imagne u couda recorded the whole thng in real time.
@@patrickramirez8433 part of the beauty I guess
No one is obligated to own a cell phone. We can choose not to interact with people on a superficial level. Although owning a cell phones can be useful at times. Plus we can switch them off? Happy surfing.
RIP Frank Dorenkamp!
From Frank's sister, Peggy:
With profound sadness, I want to tell you that our brother, Frank passed away last weekend while vacationing with our family in Delaware. While in the ocean, he was tossed by a rough wave and sustained a neck fracture. If you knew him, you know how much he loved the ocean, and that there was no other way he would have wanted to leave this earth. We are grateful that he didn't suffer and that he was with his family at the time. We are going to spread his ashes in both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans so that he can continue to ride the waves.
Pete Coyle Heavy Man. See you out there soon Frank.
+Pete Coyle Very sad news
+Pete Coyle Frank is welcoming 'Uncle Rabbit' into the ether to surf that endless wave and eternally live in water. rabbit's passing brought me to look for surf movies i grew up with in va. beach and on hatteras. found Frank's. i dreamt about this last night. surfing leaves a legacy of some real kalohes and scoundrels but my family is steeped in the tradition of throw them in let them learn quickly to swim. da kine! aloha rabbit!
So very sad .....
I grew up in Morehead city N.C. We would take the ferry to Ocrakoke, then to the lighthouse where we would camp and surf until our arms fell off. I remember people taking surf trips up and down the East Coast ,every summer. I was a young grommet surfer in '75, and, I remember the lighthouse being right on the jetty.......
This brought back sweet memories of Seals and crofts summer breeze , the group America and Neil young......
Where did the time go?
Bob Perry I live in the area, but the surf is small
Music by Wishbone Ash
"The King Will Come"
That riff I could listen to all day.
Great footage!
Brings me back to the mid 70's
More importantly......Do you still have the bus? Love the bus!!!!
Driver hoisting his Budweiser out the window of a Ford Pinto wagon on the highway says it all 👍
I'm a Hatteras boy born in 74. I grew up surfing on the island. So good to see this footage even though I was only just born. Great video. Reminds of of being a 70s, 80s kid on the island. Simple good times. Most of my family were and are surfers. I shared this on Facebook to the locals on the island. I think they will find this a real gem to see. Thanks for uploading it to youtube!!!!! Great shots by the way. Kickass angles dudes! - Justin.
florida hasn't changed a bit. blazing hot. smoking chicks. shit waves.
this was the very best of times i wish i could be in this era again !!!!
I can't imagine the effort it took to shoot this movie with the equipment you had access to back in the 70s. So. Cool. Can't wait to surf Hatteras again this August - praying for a hurricane swell and a hurricane that stays well off the coast!
VW Van with a footprint gas pedal. Classic.
Great memories of the OBX in the 70s ...always felt like a true surf trip.
No surf reports, just sprinting over the dune to get that first glimpse.
It made this old lady(60!!( miss surfing more and more, thank God I am 5 miles from Cocoa Beach, Second light, picnic table etc, Those were the good old days , yowza !
So that means all those hot babes of the day are now like 60-70 years old - wow
Thanks Nicolas. Wishbone Ash is one of the greatest unappreciated rock bands ever.
I had a van just like that in '75. Used it to move my girlfriend and her gear up to UC Santa Cruz. Ended up staying there for 30 years. Now I live in New Zealand.
Great Movie and choice of music. Very well made. I just bought a super 8 camera, now all i need is a nice time machine. ( None on e-bay)
I love watching these. This is the best thing ever. Great choice of music, too.
70's style ya dig?? man i'm in the wrong damn generation...
Those were the days!
Thanks for the shot of the Wallabies. Brought back good memories Keep On Truckin'
Very Cool I loved every minute of it. Where are these guys today?
Giant Mahalo for making and posting this. I missed you guys since this was probably the only Hatteras spring break I missed in this era. Was there at the end of summer though when Rasmussen won the US at the lighthouse and Wes Laine threw down some. My daughters will lol...
I was there too! Seems like yesterday (almost)...great time to be a teenager...glad I was
I could actually smell the salt water.
R.I.P. Frank Dorenkamp. Broke his neck surfing according to his sister that wrote a comment here.
better than anything ive seen from rip-a-quik-bong
Thanksgiving to Fl aug sept to Hatteras from 15 yrs old(1970) and many yrs beyond.
Very Very Cool
I'm 67 been surfing 50 years! Wishbone Ash one of my favorite bands growing up!! Thanks!
At first flash of Eden
We raced down to the sea
Standing there on freedom's shore
Waiting for the Sun.
Waiting for the Sun.
Waiting for the Sun.
Can't you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered Sun.
The Doors 1968,
Brian, thats my van.
sickest Wishbone Ash
Same exact van same color
very wierd or not
What’s better than frying eggs on a portable Coleman predawn in the Hatteras Lighthouse parking lot?
That’s living!
Fantastic movie to celebrate Frank's love for the ocean 🌻🌊💦
Rad video!I remember going up in the light house in the old location .Brings back memories!
Love those old VW buses... MAN oh man, I need a tartis to take me back to 1975....
Before Internet b.s. . Simpler times. The bogus energy crisis. Gas shot up to one dollar a gallon.
Great
Just got one but the flux capacitor isn't working properly.
i was up half the night last night. insomnia isn't something new to me or lost on me. kept thinking back to va. beach, hatteras, surf city, onslow. hearing about uncle rabbit's passing today had me searching for more and wanting to watch some of the old surf movies we'd watch at the FOP club... found this instead. perfect. great little cam. and f'in wishbone ash? dudes. shaka. aloha rabbit and live in water!
There’s only about 2 mins of actual surfing in this clip. Pretty crap
Did you know your footage appears on Wild Wild Country on Netflix?
@herostoryproductions nah.....that's the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel ! There used be a toll on the bridge. The booth you see in the video is on the Hampton side.....it was just about where Strawberry Banks Motel sits next to the interstate. Notice the HRBT is two-way traffic also......second span didnt come until later days
Is it me or is the ocean much cleaner back then ,,,,and the sun was so beautiful in the 70s,i get the feeling its smaller in 2010.Oh and the VW van with the surfboard ,even today i would like to have it cool vid awsome van.
livin the dream, hell yeah
that was back in the day before everything became big down there
now they wont even let you on the fuckin beach with ur truck cause of some stupid bird theyre trying to protect
I love this flik man.. I was fishin' the outer banks in 75 as a kid.. The scenes from the trip are familiar for the Outer Banks part.. Check out my early 60's OBX surf fishin trip movies.
Bring back times like this.... *PLEASE!*
Here's your Vdub Steve Sherron ;-)
Keith Bloemendaal That was fantastic. Great music too. A Neil Young sound to it. Thanks for the heads up on this one.
Happy to have experienced these moments of joyous recklessness. Thanks for these souvenirs Keith Bloemendaal :)
What camera was this shot on? About to buy super 8 camera but not sure which one :)
Great movie! I'm from DE and have been going to Hatteras my whole life. This reminds me of my older brother and how he gave me the surf stoke!
I flashed on music as Stephen stills...but no....great tho
Fantastic to watch....I moved to Nags Head in 75 and lived and surfed there till 84....came back after the 90's and it was so different. Happy to see this film
This video rocks on so many levels. Thanks so much for sharing. There's so much to love here.
Was this released by the guys in the movie? Very cool.
Great home movie. Whoever shot and edited this knew what they are doing.
awesome movie bro, kinda makesme wish I was surfing in that era instead of swimming around my dads nuts...
these babes are probably my moms age... kida wierd to think about. awesome video btw.
this is classic!
Hell yeah! Love the music too!
yeah, and today's "era" sucks balls. seriously, we got shafted
It's bad luck to haul a surfboard backwards!
Highway 12 never looked so good.
Make you wonder what we'll be saying 30 years from now.
at about :57 is that Chesapeake bay bridge Toll Booth?
i have quite similar feelings about the 80s myself.
Pretty Cool Vid. Loving the old hatteras stuff. I grew up and live in Buxton and I love seeing old videos like this.
Back in late 70s stayed at falcon motel, think that was the name. Remember the red drum tackle shop, and kentucky fried chicken across street from motel. Just a room with tables and straight back wooden chairs...and the motel had 'new' satellite tv, the dish was huge and sat on a flatbed trailer in the parking lot... No dollar generals or other chain stores in sight-- just sand, cars, and a few buildings
be good to slow footage down to proper speed
So cool. Similar memories in Hampton.
cant stop watching over years :)
Hey soo nice! Can i use it for a video ?
Once drove to Santa Barbara to go surfing and ended up in Mexico looking for waves. Don't remember if we found any surf but had a great time. ROAD TRIP!
whatever happened to the bus?
sorry to hear about your friend.
..... what amazingly free' times...
fuckin cool ass hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A different time.
God bless, Your brother is surfing the best waves now and watching over our accent into a whole new evolutionary world. Go into your heart center connect and you will be able to commune with everyone like the ocean connects us all, our love connects us. Thanks for the beautiful vibes in this beloved video.
Buxton looks just the same! :)
Never leave waves to find waves. Hatteras looked good. I drove down from Jersey in 1979. It was 6-8 and peeling @ the lighthouse..
Haa, thanks for the memories, and the music, great home video chronicle, i was a wandering surfer back here in west ozzie all through the seventies, driving up an down the coast, camping, living out of my car, chillin waves an chillum pipes, life was so much freer back then, even if surfies were outcasts along with our brother hippies, we were still free to chase our passion an drive on the beach an camp under the stars in the sanddunes... keep tbe dream alive!
Inspirational for the traveling surfer... pure stoke and no commercialism or hype of today’s surf world. Fantastic film thanks for posting.
great film , would it be possible to use it as a clip for my music ? you can check it on spotify under "tales" title: there's that sound
B4 Hatteras was overrun with wankers and you didn`t need to be rich to live there..east coast of fla wasn't the parking lot it is now
Man does this take me back! My brother and I did this trip around the same time in my '74 Nova hatchback. Tried tent camping in 60 mph winds? Not fun! Plenty of surf though!
awesome early 70's era that's coming from 80's child like me born 1980.
Good stuff - thanks
I was 18 and surfing then too, except I lived in Southern California. But this surf trip is so familiar. It reminds me of how many things have changed.
The very air, the feeling that was in the air, was so different than it is today.
Look at the bodies people had. No fat people. And the women had curves, not flab, the way it's supposed to be, the way it was in 1975.
And the music, tuneful and interesting.
The water was cleaner in Cali back then.
It was glorious.
Didn't even know it.
Outer banks
Year I was born
I have 8mm film from that Lighthouse in 1972 - looks almost exactly the same.
man, just awesome..i was thinking if it was realy shooted on the seventies cuz its so stilish n cool that it seems extremaly wellplaned in every single detail..great it bring me moments of joy..tnx..
@SurfTrip00 Thanks for the info. I have been over that too. Great video. I wish I could find a camera like that now to shoot present filming.Just something about it thats so cool that HD doesn't have.
very cool stuff
That’s Boss!
though one reason why life was simpler back then is because few would have gone any further than the bother of a polariod or 35mm pics/snapshots. that epic film clip literally comes from film. which had to be developed, etc. a LOT of work went to make this video. my props to those who made it. and thanks for sharing.
Soul surfers
Epic coolness.
i was surfing Isle of Palm, my home in 75, then moved to Pensacola---miss those suds
Great movie! I grew up in Florida and surfed Sebastian Inlet and New Smyrna back in the 80's. Live in New Jersey now and go down to Hatteras every summer to surf. It all looks pretty much the same to me, especially Sebastian. I don't think it's changed too much. Thanks for sharing!
Groovy tunes, great beaches, great filming...man, I was born in 67 and still think I was born just a bit late...my sis lives on Ocracoke now I'm gonna share this with her and she'll love it! Thanks for posting this you made my day ...now I got to see what else you have here on you tube.....later cuz..from New Castle, PA.
though you probably never made any hollywood blockbuster, rather, toiled at some shit job for 30 years..........recognize, this is epic and it is appreciated, thANX for posting this :)
Excellent!
