Great footage from an older surfer that grew up by Salt Creek!

it was a crying shame but money talks and BS walks

Only thing that matters is the love of money! 'Aint that right Harbor hoggin' boaters. Money talks surfers kick rocks!!!

Wow looked like such an amazing point break!!! What a shame!!! I’m happy someone got to enjoy before they wrecked It!!!

Learn to surf there in the late fifties. What was so wonderful was few people, gas at the local u-pump it, 15-18 cents, and two breaks of waves . Outside waves for surfers and an inside wave that feathered in for beginers to learn safely how to surf.

Then San Clemente at T street……

Looks like Laguna Canyon drive through and the pier at Killer Dana…….

My first time out was on my 15th birthday December 1962. A new factory pop out I bought for $80 I earned by insulating my dad's attic in the summer! My dad took me to Sunset Point (where Sunset Blvd. runs into PCH. The waves were just like the first ones in the film - very small and breaking right on shore but it was awesome! Left it for a long time but back in the water now going as often as energy allows & doing the best I can handle - still small inside waves LOL! Stay Stoked!

This makes me want to weep.

Did drenching and putting a harbor in make Dana Point any better ? Or did it just inflate more egos ?

❤❤❤

I was born in 1962 long Beach CA. Moved to HB in 70, such great times to be a kid at the beach, I'd go back in a second!

Wonderful video and music, takes me back 💖

I saw The Date Shack at around 01:25 or so. Good memories of the best date milkshakes in the world. The Huntington Beach Union High School Oilers Class of '64 approves of this video --- however many of us are still alive, that is.

Remember sitting in my woody at doheny on Christmas day in 63. Thinking it's to cold to go out no wet suits in those days. Went out anyway turn BLUE 🔵

Remember sitting in my 47 woody in 63 Christmas day cold as hell still went out ( no wet suit) loved those days 😊

Vartimon surf boards. OLE gordie were the only boards we would ride does anybody remember ?????

Academy award, best live action short, 1965

Looks like a grinder right off the rocks, more for a short board. Bet boards got beat up

First time I ever surfed was here at 'Killer Dana Point ' in 1965 when I was seven. Seems like yesterday...

Why not some Burl Ives..😂

You picked such beautiful music. Do you know if there is a video for the Moors who passed in the early 70s? I'm looking for 1974. I thought I did see something of that era once but now I can't seem to find it.

It's too bad that there are no videos on TH-cam of a big Southwest swell at Dana. It would break outside, I'm talking way out there, and big, kind of gentle but after a long ride it would build up to another break on the inside that was tubular, Blowing smoke out of the end, and you would end up in the boneyard at doheny.

Muchas gracias

That's so damn cool! Thanks for sharing this! 🤙🏻

The good old days before the break wall ventura had Stanley's dinner and little Rincon from cliff house to oil piers

Bench seats in cars! They never should have gotten rid of them! How else can you cuddle up with your sweetie while driving?!

This was before my time. I’m 69. Still love this! I always watch Endless Summer twice a year and it was before my time too. It’s my heritage!

Me sitting here trying to figure out if that was laguna canyon road and then the "dip" between monarch beach and salt creek

Ben Gravy would be proud of some of these. Great video thanks for sharing.

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

So beautiful to see it as it was.

Ironically- the ocean institute is build right where they ruined one of the most beautiful natural area of Orange County- 1960’s developers did not care one bit. The harbor is so cheesy now. Hard to go there are walk around knowing what it destroyed

Memories of the best time of my childhood. Surfing with just a few friends, just for fun. Lucky to have grown up surfing back then.

Thanks for posting this and the effort that went into it. It’s great to have a record of how the swells broke in that cove. I can only barely remember it that way because I was about 6 when they began dropping rocks to create the harbor. I love listening to old timers talking about surfing the cove. It looks such a gentle wave that brought you in easy along those reefs. Those rights off the point were so fun to ride I’m sure.

Awesome footage

Most gorgeous tables ever thanks to Pat and Tracy Ingham. There is a second video of the still photos.

Ruined best wave in OC thanks dipshit developers aka Irvine family

Hi there! Because I’m surfer from the end of 60’s, I found your little movie. Then I went through your films, with great memories. Unfortunately I didn’t tracked my classes mates, also it’s not a tradition down here in Brasil…great memories lost through the years. Cheers…

RIP ….Dana Point

Loved living in Dana Point in 1969 and going to Doheny Beach. Great times.

Memorable but just hurts seeing that and what it looks like now.

Thank you Lorna!

Great Times . I was there ! FAIRWINDS!

That was supposed to be Neepys and Razorblades

Surfed there back in the day. Anybody remember beeps and razor blades too?

Thanks for posting. Good look at the old Dana Point and vintage surfing . The wagon was cool too ..

Thank you for the footage. Makes me so sad, though. The love of money turned a paradise into a tacky strip mall surrounded by look-alike houses. Good memories that led to bad ones. Thank you for sharing

Happy Birthday & Congratulations 🎉❤

We sounded pretty decent at Larry's memorial in Monrovia
