Went to bingin first time 1993. Was a little late compared to this. So thankful to surf there in the 90s before it got over developed. 70s must of been absolute heaven there!!
Wow....I showed up around the same time it was magical back then... here I am laying in the air conditioner in Kuta Beach it's March 24 2024... Thinking about the old days back then surfing at uluwatu..nothing was out there then.. now the whole Cliff is covered with fancy hotels.... People who don't even surf go out there to vacation and stay at the fancy places... What does it mean there are just so many people on this earth now....🤔 ...
its still magical, you just gotta explore. same as these dudes did in the 1970s. Indonesia has thousands of miles of unexplored coastline that is teeming with surfable waves. even on Bali, there are still uncrowded waves, you just have to look (and avoid staying in Kuta, lol)
I lived in Bali from 74 until 80. I could see what was coming and moved back to Oz.Went back on many occasions but nothing was like the 70s. The golden era.
Almost anyone who was surfing in the 1970s tends to see it as the golden age. Improved equipment, lots of unexplored places and manageable crowds.
Taking me back mate, thank you so much.... it was an amzing paradise back then and anyone who experienced it feels blessed. How it has changed......

I love this....old raw surf footage from Indonesia... love this 😊😊
In Search of Tubular Swells from 1976...still have this on VCR...great flick!
So Magic! These movies inspired me to go there in '85. So sad to see it so over developed since. 🤙🏼
Thank you for sharing these from a golden era 🙏🤙🏽
Excellent, thanks for posting this!
Reconized that Lopez soul arch instantly.

Unfortunately the surf industry and social media’s has ruined the place some how on attracting the wrong ones and over crowded the place ..

Absolutely love the music
First went to Indo 1974, went back 1991, haven't been back since, hasent changed for the best
😊even Shazam doesn’t know this super funky music- even 5 Summer Stories Honk is there
Grrrrate clip
Looks like Gerry Lopez on the Bolt
This is great old footage. Curious who shot it all?
💕 Wow💚💙💙💙💙💚💙
Anyone knows the music?
Lopez of course, I'm guessing a blonde Peter McCabe, and maybe Rasmussen on the red board.
not even in the same universe anymore ,, where u think all the sewage goes from all the houses ,, that's not water coming out the cliffs
Getting barreled was hard back then on shit equipment
The music sucks
