Wilderness restoration projects like this are the tried and true environmental solution. The only global virus we need is initiative and enthuiasm.

This was filmed in Christmas 2025. It gets better every year. Clive Neeson

Yep, had a Byrne 6'3" concave 4 channel swallow tail / flyer thruster. Rode it in Noosa River mouth going right when everyone went left ? Probably the best days surfing ever. Your channel bottoms are are a weapon - so fast when they lift out of the water and start to float (unless you have not ridden one, you would not know what that feels like). 2 thumbs up from me ! 👍👍

Just watched again......great times!

I had bought a buyback when I lived in Cali. It was made for Charlie kuhn. It was called a recycler 3 stringers feather tail into a swallow tail with channels a bonza and 4 smaller skegs on each side. It was dual rocked front to tail. Potato chip rip. Best board I ever had. My buddy broke it in half surfing some hurricane swells

Allen will always be one of the best. My question is did he still do dairy products ? I go what I call vegetarian yet if I revert back to how I was raised so be it . I never do dairy products though. Beef burrito is my weakness. He mentioned diet . That is why I bring it up. In the context of the video people could assume it all “genetic” . I know no answer will come to answer everyones beliefs. Yet it is important to understand things in context. He probably was a dairy consumer raised to believe he was vegetarian . Death waits for us all .

Wow, I am absolutely blown away. What a beautiful film. Thank you guys for your contribution to surfing New Zealand and the world 🤙🏻

I’ve just found this. What a story!! Thank you. All the best guys. great music as well ❤

Saludos desde isabela island galàpago ! Back in th late 80s a good friend of mine moved to New Zealand. His name is Brian Clark, he now lives in Oakura. Say hey for me if you know him...Mike Wenell

Unreal look into the past of Oakura

Nice!

EPIC! Love the old phootage.

Hamish Graham was making burning spears in California my friends and I got some .best boards especially in good waves. A.B. WAS A LEGEND HERE TOO.I remember seeing him at pipe on ABC sports

wow. that was special.

paddle out must have been brutal!

Met Allan at Wainui Beach poss 68/69 and he took an interest in a new short Quane board I had, tried it and gave his seal of approval...great guy...

Awesome to see these memories Clive and great ending tribute to Jim!!

Wayyyy more entertaining than I expected. That was dope.

I did it hit carton *Flots

The board

Good old days I miss it. A lot. If you're young enjoy everyday and surf as much as you can. These next Couple years probably be my last. Surfing gave me as a kid the best outlet to enjoy my days every day. True freedom. Time is short enjoy the ride. Alooooooooha

This is my Genteration.We figure sht out. I remember Alan coming to North Shore. He just loves the barrel. What great history. thank you. P.j. Rincon

Beautiful story. All Glory to Lord Jesus read 1 Corinthians 15. The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Wish you were still here my brother.....

Byrning spears had a couple channel bottoms when he shaped em for me I wasn't aware of the person the algorithm on my device pulled this up I

Great surfers!!!

Pumping

Paddled out from Talle creek on a massive Burliegh swell around 25 years ago. Not real sure if I should have been there. Got out somehow and realised it was fricken massive. Waves were peaking probably 100m east of Sharkies. I was thinking about how I was getting in . Come across Al Byrne on my trip north., had a brief chat until a makkin set showed up. I head for Surfers while Al head for Cooly . Last I saw he was bottom turning into seriously heavy wave , didn't see him again . I was so happy to feel the sand at north burliegh. I wish I could have been that calm and confident.

AB the realist, great story🤙

How good was that, simply orated by an uncomplicated guy who bypassed all the bullshit of life, listen to your heart not all the crap being spruiked at you.

Great watch sure remember spending time with Kevin Jarraett in the early 70s

My first board was an Allan Byrne 6'8". How I wish I still had that board now, and not because of this doco, just because I made so many memories with it. Cheers Allan 🙏

👍🏻

Awesome bro saw you way back in 1981 I think or maybe 1979 goldcoast burly .we where young kiwis staying at Rudd park living off meat pies and beers .gr8 dayz

Watching this brought a smile and a sad/sweet nostalgia... turn 60 this year and still riding shortboards. SW Western Australia, I recall when you could rock up at premier breaks and there would be no-one or a just a couple of guys. So blessed...

AB was a great man and I am so glad this movie is around so he will never be forgotten. Beers down and the factory and training with all the crew, some great memories

"nature just grabs ya" no need to say bro

True surf starts with a surfboard made by a true shaper. Fantastic surf clips and a honest story.

Niiiiice !! I'm almost 70. Been dead 3 x. Love everyday. The local spot still "hates on me "....40 years later. I'm sharing this story with everyone !! Thanks again

True surfing legend. I loved the old Morris j van, fj Holden and the Morris wagon. Cheers!
