Great film, thank you! It takes me back to the days of my youth. A time when legropes were non-existent and precision surfing was key to avoid long swims. We learned quick in those times, [how to NOT lose your board.]
Thankyou ❤️...i had a fair bit to do with Col in the mid to late 70's...such a cool dude...no ego... someone you could look up to and never be disappointed ⭐👑
Spent winter of 75 at Margaret’s ,first BIG swell to arrive everyone was on the cliffs just watching .Out paddles Ian cairns in board shorts,very big cluttered lineup ,no one joined him until a knee boarder paddled out,everyone wondering who it was,still no one else went out.they battled the conditions and both got some big waves and some big cleanups,when they finally came in the big mystery was solved,the knee boarder was Shane Gould……legendary

Col Smith, I used to love all the old pics in SW of him doing all those crazy reentries. He was ripping even back then
So cool, mahalo 🤘

We love his goofy smile. Looks like the coolest guy to hang out with. Like he'd always be full of stoke!
Back in the day
It was great 👍
Good vibes to Auatralian people from Brasil. Keep the surf culture alive!
Back to you in Brasil!
