Thanks for loading this. I remember watching these contests on abc's wide world of sports. I had forgotten Jim Lampley n Mark Spitts calling these things though. Cool.
So funny that they had Olympic gold medal swimmer Mark Spitz (not a surfer) do the commentary about the board ("Let's see, Spitz does a sport in water, and surfing is in water, so let's have Spitz talk about that thing that happens in water even though he has zero knowledge about it."), while Jim Lampley, who has always fancied himself a "writerly' sports announcer, fetishizes the relationship he thinks surfers have with their board. Hilarious.

"Might score some points in a disco but not out here!" classic!
PT has perfect style.
I wish u had da footage of eddie aikau winning da duke
wow, I used to watch this back then!
Classic footage. They should bring the Duke back. Invite 24 of the best surfers to vie for the prestige of winning a Duke trophy.
that is some seriously kooky commentary..
5:25 "Might score some points in a disco but not out here!" classic!

Mark Spitz is ABC’s expert in surfing because he swims in pools and knows all about waves, joke.
