I've been waiting close to 50 years to see this movie again. OMG, it so much takes me back to being a 16 year old rat seeing my heroes and learning about the surfing world beyond my beach break. It inspired me to travel and to seek my own path. Thank you for whoever posted this, however shaky the footage. It's the content that I wanted, not the quality of the footage. Here's a shout out to my generation!
Was there, '69, too! Love this style of tube, reminds me of my old friend Wardy's "Boobs & Tubes" films, circa '69. Photographer for "Surfer Magazine" and others. He'd come over once in awhile, show his latest editions on our livingroom wall. By todays standard crude, we loved them, still do! Wardy Ward, too! Here's to you, Wardy, to all our photographing, surfing, musical and counter culture pioneers of yesteryears!
Dave LaRose I’ll second that saw most of them in the 60s 70s missed this one and 50 years later seeing it for the first time Heard all about it from my friends over the years and here we are 2020 covid 19 good luck everybody! Good bye AMERICA!!! 😎✌️
This is such a wonderful movie. The late sixties where such an important time in the history of surfing. The advent of the short board brought so many possibilities. I just love watching the styles, maneuvers...just incredible!
Hey look at that. At 6:25 it’s Bill Foster at the HB Pier talking about how the universe flows and doing his thing. Then at 11:11 it’s Mike Moir! Within 6 months, thanks to the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, both of these guys became consummate Westminster High School surf-stoners. History will judge Jeff Spicoli, Bill Foster, and Mike Moir as equals. When I think of it, the Brotherhood explains much of our high-school experiences. The Brotherhood explains why sometimes the hash was plentiful and then other times life was very bleak-I couldn’t put it all together back then, but I read the book and it definitely explains why and how things happened to us in Orange County. Mike was never concerned about his grades when I knew him. But he went on to become Mike Moir, the Surf Photographer. Which means he defied his parents and got a job in surfing. Maybe his deep soul-searching comments inspired him to never again live east of PCH. But where’s Foster? …….nobody knows.
I just watched this on a local independent TV station (KCNS-38) and loved it. It is one of the most psychedelic movies I have ever seen. It doesn't mention or even hint at LSD or other hallucinogenic drugs in any way but in 1969 it didn't HAVE to. Its audience would have understood and dug the trip. The music, the pacing, the visual effects, and the scenic beauty, and minimal human speech seem crafted for a tripping audience. I noticed that the first visual effects occur between the 45-60 minute mark, just when a dose of acid would have kicked in.
That cracks me up. I have been forcing buddies for years to watch Joe Friday and Sgt Gannon protect us from a white #5 capsule. God knows what would happen to us if we ever became curious.
This is taped or copied off the screen, that's why the jumping, not I original. But I sure do miss it. It brings some great memories. Best part good vibrations!
I think someone uploaded this and chose the image stabilizer feature. Worst thing to ever happen to youtube as it wrecks the scenes and warps it beyond belief. Unless they filmed it with a 1995 flip- phone? Looks like a good movie otherwise.
The opening is by Sky Oats with Craig Doerge on the Mellotron that I borrowed from Brian Wilson. Then the band kicks in. We use that opening for "Billy's Blues" with Bill Hamilton later in the film, on a flat day.
Why does the picture keep jumping around, or is that intentional? I too saw this on kcns 38(the works) before the station went belly up. The picture was much clearer, not so fuzzy and not moving around. However this version has more footage that I don't remember from the televised version, though. I wish they could clean this up.
Please please please... could anybody tell me what's the song at 58.54??? I am not exaggerating when I say I have been searching for it since 2008 when I watched this movie for first time. I tried shazaming without success... If you do know you will make me a very happy person. Thanks!!!

A real surfers movie and dreams for the rest of our lives and i'm blessed with 45 years of it and still stoked
Ahead of his time one of the Great Classic surf movies of its day!

I was there in '69, tripp'n from Freeriders at Malibu to to the Wedge in Santa Cruz!
blu boy scared me straight.

I was down in San Diego watching it !!!
I remember watching this at pier ave. Junior high school in Hermosa Beach. I used to surf @ Redondo break wall and 2nd st in Hermosa
Ahhh,south bay...some great bands came from there
I grew up in redondo , surfed the breakwater almost everyday and went to the surf movies at hermosa pier auditorium I'm 68 years old
Want to watch.
Image quality makes it impossible
Clean this shit up even a little bit.
Please.
Back in the early 60s men were men. No wet suits no leach . You had to work to surf.
Ok boomer
I don't know of many hobbies or sports that effect u emotionally,physically,mentally, spirituality.

great movie great music
Um marco nos filmes de SURF, a começar pelo poster do Grifen, Jonh Severson se superou.
Leo Kottke is also there with his ripping guitar (in the 7th minute)
George Greenough is there on his knee-board, greatest surfboard designer of my/all time!
The opening music is by Bach. O sacred head sore wounded from St Matthew's passion.
The opening is by Sky Oats with Craig Doerge on the Mellotron that I borrowed from Brian Wilson. Then the band kicks in. We use that opening for "Billy's Blues" with Bill Hamilton later in the film, on a flat day.
It is filmed with a A7SIII ?
TRIVIA:
Rolf Aurness was the son of James Arness from Gunsmoke.
P.S. There is a much cleaner upload here on youtube...
Michael H. Trivia update; NO ONE GIVES A FUCK!
Hitchens Thinksnot Wow DUDE SUCH AN A HOLE. MOVE TO THE VALLEY. IT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR U.
Anthony Barrow , yeah, it was kind of an asshole remark. It's that he's posted it on several forums, and I doubt anyone cares. Chill...
SKY OATS do a few songs and the theme music..

the opening is clearly borrowed from Bach.

Image stabilization applied by the poster through RUclips.
You mean they used image stabilization or they didn't?
Surfables, it's deplorable!
