About 1966 David's surfing at Tracks on Oahu blew us surfrat's away. Our hero.🤙
I was a Nuuhiwa fan back in those days. Especially his noseriding. I saw him pull up to Malibu in Rolls Royce or some such car. Around '68 or '69. He was dressed like a rock star. Really stood out. And then he surfed Malibu on a shorter board. Still ripping.
my 2nd good board was a Dyno swallow tail. used to see Nuuhiwa pull up to the cliffs/golden west st. in his white rolls & surf there when he came out with his fish tails. there was a great point break there almost all of the time (great when a swell came in), no parking meters & you could go out & not have a bunch of 'tards tryin' to get in your wave. i haven't been as happy as when i used to surf...
We lost something when we went to short boards. I surfed during the transition period. Loved my shorter 7' 4" G & S that Skip Frye shaped for me, and then I went to a 6' board. But I started on a long board and loved cross stepping to the nose. All that went away for several years. Long boards were no where to be seen in the water. The nose riding and the smoother approach is so cool.
The first year David moved from Hawaii to California, he went to my high school. He actually talked to me on the first day of school, after that he was a snob, but he sure could surf. He and Corky Carrol used to surf Newport with us on the good days. i once saw David go into a tube goofy and come out regular, also those epic long noserides, things like that. Sometimes he would show up at the beach with no board, and people would offer him their boards, almost on bended knee, there were so many DN surfboard models for so many shapers at that time.
One of a handful of Classic Longboarders from the 60's who justifies a ten minute tribute. Such a unique style and gifted athlete who just makes it look so easy that 10:37 barely does him justice. A great soundtrack(far as I'm concerned). Thanks for this compilation and post!
The best of the last days of 60's longboarding and 100% pure unadulterated SURF MUSIC. How dog gone good is that?
I saw David at the world championships in Ocean Beach San Diego where he amazed the crowd by taking a ten toes over the nose nose ride through the pier . . the longest nose ride I have ever seen. The year I believe was 1963 and the contest was won by Australian surfer Nat Young on a 9'4" board he called Magic Sam. At the time it was considered a radical departure for anyone to ride a board as short as 9' 4" (which happened to also be the length of my Gordon and Smith at the time).
I think I remember David competing in a contest at the HB pier in the late 60's on a fish
it's a honor to watch this man surf.💀👺👹And super sick link wray cover.😴😴😴
I just picked up a 7ft 6inch David Nuuhiwa Surfcraft single fin from a friend who I went to Rincon, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 in the 69/70 season 🔥🤟
David put a huge butterfly on my Con...wish that I still had it
Lets not forget the tiny dynomo himself one of the greatest watermen to have lived. Donald Takayama his shapes over the years have been revered by those like myself had the pleasure of owning one one of the original Jacobs Takayama models.Well I didn't actually own it Donald let me use itat the " Steps " anytime I wanted.There hasn't been enough money minted i wouldn't give for just one day back then i had no idea.
Rip......it
met David in a limo on the way back from LAX Airport
I went to school w/ David. He lives in Cabo with my other friend Don Brown aka "Mr. Cute Green Eyes and butter blonde hair"
I'm the only kid here ;-; and my dad haves a t-shirt from this video
who would click dislike on this??
@1FiNsUp1
True dat but I worked at MTB for a time got to count D.T. as a friend and anytime I cared to use his original D.T. model I was welcome to it was my mistake and should have rewritten the post to correct that error.
Read Mike Doyle's autobiography, Morning Glass, there are manay mentions of great surfers from Dora to BK. He never mentions David...thats intersting...
Seems like Joel is a big David fan
@Cervicconstruction Ah,thats no big thing, its probably more jelousy than anything on my part haha....a day or two back then would be absolutely priceless
Corky Carroll??? pleeeeze. All hat,no cattle.
I don't want to be hurting any feelings but as good as Nuuhiwa was there were guys who he couldent hold a candle to... Corky Caroll, Mike Doyle, Phil Edwards, Dora, Billy Hamilton, Lance Carson...he was a great noserider...but there were many other better surfers
.....and then I saw a frothing J.J. Moon just shredding those bommies out back, or was he ripping, well anyway..........
Well if you never had "the pleasure" of owning one why do you say so. Hey, trash talk aside, Donald and David were and still are fanstastic surfers. But there werae and are better surfers, especially in Leucadia/Encinitas in the 60's/70's
