lived in Australia for a while in the past. this film captures all its beauty perfectly. good music, great photography and vibes. amazing surfers, a piece of australian surfing history.
Hi again Jedi, I found the track you like. It's called "Wishful Thinking" by Dan Lebowitz. If you or a friend has a TH-cam channel you can download for free in the Audio Library - Music. Phil
The Endless Summer never captured the spectacular surf Australia has. Probably lucky for the locals. Still one of my favorite surf movies of all time with great sound track too
@@walkcyclesydney1725 I was lucky to spend 3 weeks in Australia, in 2000. Surfed Cronulla, Diggers Beach, and Burleigh as we worked our way north from Sydney. I have been surfing since 67 and travelled to Costa Rica 12X, Mexico, California 5X, Tortolla BVI, Barbados 3X, Abaco in the Bahamas, and many breaks in Florida where I live. The vibe I got Down Under was that you have the greatest country on earth. The people all reminded me of Crocodile Dundy - extremely upbeat and happy. That alone made my trip. And everywhere I saw outstanding surf and surfer talent. I saw "airs" from my balcony at Burleigh Towers by youngsters and the average Joes that wasn't common place where I surf except by a very few. Your movie captures the best part of my surfing journey - the style and approach your surfers represented. Definitely got me stoked. Especially the Bells footage. Felt like I just had a good session myself. Nat Young once said in an interview with Surfer mag, around 1969, that you could improve your surfing with mind surfing, when there was no surf. The Animal was right. I just had the best of mind surfing thanks to your film. Pura Vida
Yeah really sweet as guy in first comment remarked. Even after all these years , guys riding the water the wave instead of putting the maneuver on the wave wherever they can. Ride the wave or push the maneuver on the wave. Genuine , real ,cone thru in movie like greenough matting with wave overthewater about the ocean energy of the wave. Bla bla alot of words to say captures some thing real, Bla bla I mean"something like that' My favorite times of surfing 69-70. Liked riding greenough surfboards, here in Santa Barbara. Never made it to Australia looks so good.
Sweet movie guys, must be real close to when MOTE was filmed, no leggy`s and Nat looks like his wearing the same red boardies, nice footage of Greenough on the mat, some beautiful Lennox and Broken too and one of my home breaks Bawley...cracking soundtrack too...yep, sweet as! cheers
@@walkcyclesydney1725 one of those boards in the begining was a single fin with the bonzer fins Infront of the single fin if I'm correct. Dude was slashing and dashing. Those boards, you can't ride them if you don't have style. Sickest surf film I've ever seen. Seriously.
Thanks Michael, I was just down the beach today talking to a guy about editing, and I thought about all the stages we did to create fx on the optical printer. Now editing with premiere pro is such a delight I'm glad I am still making films. Phil

Thanks Dean, it's really cool that after all these years people really like the film. Phil
There is footage of same days as Morning of... in particular of Nat, filmed with more panorama without slow-mo
Cool like the shot from the house across2 summer cloud remember standing there
Nothing but rail to rail carving and style like it went out of business . This is better than any surfing today. Style is everything
Hi William, I totally agree with you, and sharing our films is a great way for many people to appreciate that era.Phil

The optical printer got a nice workout Phil. Fades, dissolves, freeze frame, slow mo and split screens. Nice edit too and great photography.

Great vibes.
Thank you. Phil
Hey, I think that's George during the Angourie segment. Good show. Cheers.
Hi Michael, that is definitely George Greenough on the surf mat. The footage was filmed at Lennox Head. Phil
@@Phil-py2ls Yeah, cool to see, I thought that was him in the shot before the mat footage. Cheers.
Bludger Nation. Vw bus. 70s surf heroes. 🏄♂️ cool so cal hb local!
Thank you, glad you liked the film. Phil
amazing
Thank you.
Wow this is really good. Single fins and no leashes. Good music.
Thank you. It was filmed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, during the transition to shorter boards. Phil
@@walkcyclesydney1725 I cut down my longboard which didn't work. But a 7'2" Doug Haut single fin worked great in medium waves in Santa Cruz.
Check out the early trifin in the opening sequence - years before Simon.
@@marcomaddox I don't think the trifin geometry was perfected yet in the early 70s. But some guys were trying to figure it out before Simon.
@@marcomaddox I owned an early tri fin, it was a "Jackson" in 1972, I was 12. The great ole days!
Does anyone know the name of the song from the 8:10 mark? I just love that song and would love to listen to it
Hi Jedi, sorry I can't help you with that one. We made the film 50 years ago and I don't remember where we got that music from. Phil.

20:40 mark. Drop in guy nearly gets speared by the board of the guy he burned. Another reason legropes are safe 😂
