Torquay pub, man, wild times, good times back then, spark up a joint and head out for a wave, the surfers way, an artists way. How the Oz coast has changed, the locals can hardly afford to live by the sea anymore, blow ins from the city have f`d it...for what? Aloha
@seanh1ckeyHow you can ignore the obvious growing economic inequality between the ruling class (the 1% of billionaires) and the rest of us? You can vote for a senator, can’t vote for a CEO 🤷♂️. Boot licker.
epoch. what a moment in the history professional surfing. Rolf's story of a Californian World Surf Champion in 1970 is relatively unknown. Tom Curren would follow in the wake of Rolf in the 1980's. Both were humble and radical and changed the course of professional surfing in their own ways. Both with legendary fathers in the history of our sport. Not sure who knows about Rolf's father's impact on the world of surfing. As kids, we ALL watched Rolf's father every week on "Gunsmoke" in the 1960's. But no one knew that, in between TV filming sessions, "Sheriff Matt Dillon" (and possibly Rolf?) surfed Rincon during the legendary winter of 1969..... There's a Hollywood movie in this story. Rolf may have faded temporarily into obscurity in the surf world, but he's a legend. someday someone with means will figure this out and he'll be given the recognition his legacy deserves. 😎🤙✌
Oh dear God please take me back to those wonderful days. Does anyone think that the surfing life is better today?
It seems like a different dimension almost..
Pretty ballsy for a young PHIL Jarrat to say & see through the hype surrounding surfing back then. Respect!
Something interesting Rolf Aurness is the son of James Arness (born Aurness) actor from Gunsmoke for all of us old enough to remember 🤙

The surf coast was a wonderful playground back then, I guess it probably still is for the few that can afford it.
Ha! The 'good old days'... our first trip to Oz May 1970. Straight up to Qld.😆
they did well on those horrendous boards!
Where's Dru Harrison?
Volume please...
My first board was in 1970. A stubby nosed 2nd hand 6ft Keyo . At ten years old I couldn't afford a wetsuit .
They didn,t make wetsuits for kids in those days .I remember wearing a t-shirt for a wetsuit an shivering helped keep you warm .
So..... Rolf and the art of bustin down the what, ......the door!
I wonder what Rolf Arness is doing now?
After winning the contest it was rumored that he quit surfing
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolf_Aurness?wprov=sfla1
He did quit.
Ralph!
I struggle to believe that Arness won surfing as he did , the rest must have been too stoned to lose to that performance
