Joel, You have realigned my kid's perspective on surfing. They finally get it. It's not all about slashing up all over the face...all the time...right board for the right wave. Thanks to you they (3 of 'em) now have the full appreciation of what surfing CAN be. Every time they come home from "the reef" and are so stocked to have shared the water with you and witnessing your grace and now desire to emulate that vibe...I have a hard time getting the smile to relax off my face...We owe you ! Skip
Coach Wilson Skip, that totally rocks. We'll be sure to share with Joel the next time we see him. Thanks for continuing the legacy with your kiddos. It means a lot.
Can we get the skateboarding community to realize the same thing? Different tools for different jobs. It's still a skateboard, no matter what size it is. The street skating scene is a disgrace to the Dogtown roots. With their hard wheels, popsicle decks, and circus monkeys doing tricks for bananas thing these days...the whole scene demands conformity and hates on different styles. It's lame.
Even after all these years, Joel is still a great guy who is generous and gives back to surfing. I have been longboard surfing for nearly 30 years, never great at it but just have fun and I still get down the line rides on clean offshore days. The Duct Tape event epitomises why I surf, the sheer fun and joy of riding waves, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. Another great old longboarder from back in the 60,s is Vince Ward from UK where I,m from. He,s now in his 70,s, still surfes alot. He helped me with advice in bigger waves and encouraged me to paddle into chunkier waves and I scored one of my best rides, a solid 5 foot right all down the line. I really appreciated his advice and his humble manner in teaching, and I have never forgotten his advice and kindness.
when i first started surfing and watching contests, i remember thinkin "Why would you want to take the fun ouyt of surfing for money?", but after seeing this it makes me happy that there is still people who surf just for the fun
Fluid here, I grew up in Marrero, Louisiana. I am 47. I have been skating and skimming since 1978. I will be making a surfboard soon, to surf at Lake Pontchartrain and Grand Isle.
I'm glad Joel appreciates surfing and his lifestyle. It's really great he is happy and able to do what he loves, I respect that. However I don't think he should disrespect people who's passions may be carpeting. The prize is in the process.
I love the idea of style over everything else. I started on a long board watching people like Dora. When we transitioned to shorter boards, Lopez. What they had in common was style. Riding waves over shredding for shredding sake is more aesthetically pleasing.
This makes me happy. When the surf is pumping, often the worst behaviour comes out because many surfers get so competitive I just want to catch nice rides with my mates in the water Hopefully land a barrel or two!
Great film! I didn't even feel like watching but i was captivated. I feel what differentiates the art of surfing from other sports is that great surfing is more inspirational than discouraging. This film is right up there with five summer stories and Endless summer in my book. mahalo nui loa
This documentary really opens my eyes to the beauty of surfing a longboard and all of the things that you can do with one. It really inspires me to get out in the surf with a longboard more often
Joel you ABSOLUTELY !! give class to what SURFING is all about. Thank you so very much and Damn if could do half of what you do out there I'd die a HAPPY man !!! TK Furnish.
I learned how to ride on duct taped board that was left in my apartment when I first moved to Cocoa Beach in the early 90's with a bag full of clothes and a yearning for the Sea ... It was one of those pivotal moments ... Much Love ✌️
So many cool aspects of this film, from the history to style to the footage and music. Neil Blender is such a skateboarding legend and his art is awesome. Who designed the skateboards that were given out as gifts? Were the wheels also custom with Blenders art on them? Thanks Joel, you're a Legend! Also thanks to the Van Dorens.
The most beautiful idea perfectly focused me on the coolest surf style. "Cause when you see it, nose riding. it looks supernatural. like Joel is just surfing in his feet. Too cool vans
I know there are tons of other people who rip it, and are local, but for some reason I love watching Joel at Pipe. I'd have to say, he's my personal favorite at Pipe. Maybe I'll catch flack for that, maybe not.
super inspirational surfing & very special to see those early clips of Tudor because it's clear how talented & stylish he was then. great to see the respect for guys like Nat Young, too. Is ductumentary only for doods, though? there are no girls wave riding in this vid.
I find it to be very satisfying that the best Longboarder on the face of the earth has the best, most healthy attitude to all of surfing that there could be. Turning his back on competitive surfing because people took it too seriously and forgot what they were doing it for in the first place - classic. Yes he speaks his mind openly and that is completely right but he doesn't slag people in a shallow rude manner. Instead he is completely articulate and structured in his comments and thinking. A great film that I enjoy as much as Endless Summer 1 and Golden Breed in that it's really "about" something and not just highly polished crap. His attitude is spreading too which can only be a good thing. Good on you Joel - Stan - UK
Joel love your documentary!!!! I'm an old school Beach worshipper. La Jolla! YEAH, been to the cove plenty. I lived up Claremont Dr up over freeway just beyond #missionbay !!!😁

I started surfing at 14 in 1962 and did it religiously for 40 years intel my back went out, I first saw Joel when he was 13 at Cardiff reef, and told my son that he would be a World champion long border one day, not to mention I saw Tyler grow up with the Doheny surf club as I was in that club for many years, so good to see that these young Surf Stars doing so well, great surf movie Joel, I gave you a surf photo of you in the barrel at Salt Creek, your an amazing Surfer. Chewy.

right, you don't wanna be judged for the thing that separates you and brings you the most joy. makes sense to me. that said, the decision to say who should ride what where creates a cool kid club exclusivity that's not truly open to free expression. what you were taught, although pure, is not the absolute experience. love you all, stoke on!
I’ve been trying to find a specific documentary about surfing. I remember watching it probably back in 2010? Probably before that. I was young and so into it. It took place in Hawaii I think and I remember one of the dude in the documentary surfed a big ass wave without him even realizing it was ridiculously big and everybody was surprised he was alive and actually made it all the way through the wave and I wanna say he broke a record for surfing the biggest wave. Anybody happen to know what’s the name of that documentary?
I'm 24 and started last month. Made a few surf lessons (my teacher started at 35, now he's 50 and works as a surf teacher!) You are definitiley not old to begin!
Remember the first wave I rode properly at Curl Curl Bch in 1968...still going for a dawn patrol 45 years later. Have a go mate...the thrill like most water sports is turning at speed on water whether surfing, skiing, skating whatever...you will never forgive yourself if you don't give it a go. Surfed this morning at the local break in Qld...4:30 am, no one about, sun rising and the water like bathing in velvet...never take it for granted.

Mr. Joel Tudor you are a legend. Thank you for talking about your life. You shine bright in my surfing world view.

80s surf was the best era for me ,2019 back on the waves again.Thanks for the motivation,and the young generations are still at it .
when i first started surfing and watching contests, i remember thinkin "Why would you want to take the fun ouyt of surfing for money?", but after seeing this it makes me happy that there is still people who surf just for the fun
Yeah, the cool and the attitude even in skateboarding are gone today. In France, there isn't a global family or a culture... That sucks!
21:33 that moment when the conversation with your buddies is so great that you don't care about skipping a great wave.
Its not happened yet...

One California day still my favorite surf film!!

Exactly What I was Thinking

Love ❤️ Joel Classic surfer like Wingnut . Style is everything thanks for posting this it brings back memories.
What a stylist,his attitude and philosophy towards surfing is something we should all aspire to........
This makes me happy.
When the surf is pumping, often the worst behaviour comes out because many surfers get so competitive
I just want to catch nice rides with my mates in the water
Hopefully land a barrel or two!
Aloha Joe. I watched it million times. This is my favorite surf movie. And you are my idol.

I've been all about thrusters since I was 15. Switched to a single fin Stoneman on my 20th birthday and I've never looked back.
Awesome Ductumentary, Getting my board out now and off to Perranporth Cornwall.

His epitaph will read:
You know what I mean?

Hello,
Dope movie!

tnx for the tips and tricks

ÓTIMO !
super cool
I really REALLY want to start surfing, but i'm 21 and I feel like i'm too old to start because all these guys started when they were super young
Well, I had my first surf lesson at 38 e got a custom made longboard the week I turned 41. You're definitly not to old.
woah really! that's really cool man, I guess its really stupid to feel self conscious about my age.
I'm 24 and started last month. Made a few surf lessons (my teacher started at 35, now he's 50 and works as a surf teacher!) You are definitiley not old to begin!

thanks guys for this video and for your incredible perspective of surfing...........LOL. way far from the south....Arg.
any reason why the word documentary in the title is misspelled?!
What’s the name of the song at 21:04 ?!!!
Where can you get a longboard
Long boarders are the ballerinas of surfing
