After championships made me travel there the year after, Stayed at Punta Higuera surf resort; Israel Ramos was our taxi driver , gave us homemade rum to drink 150 proof, we were only 18. Great memories revisited! Love it.
Domes. My first trip to PR was with a new wife and a new board, riding around the south coast from SJ to Ponce and past Mayaguez and up to Rincon. My heart initially sank as we rounded the curve and all we saw was mile after mile of glimpses of coast with calm blue water, and just about late afternoon, we came over the hill behind the Reactor there in the foreground, and there it was clean, chest high and very very inviting. Thanks to PR and the folks for sharing. Then Domes was mostly a Boogie board place for the locals. It was early January, maybe 1991? I remember sitting out in the water on the board, and whistling "As long as you love me so, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." Love is such a great feeling.
got a ride from disneyland to the airport last year during a blackout from David Nuuhiwa from heat 1... US champ in 65 & 66. Great dude! Very cool & generous guy!
Been a long time since I knee paddled back out to the lineup. Fred Hemmings used to be a beer drinking jock at Punahou who punched longhairs for smoking pot. But the guy could handle big Sunset like few others.
...... Corky Carroll....!..that name knocked'd an early memory of growing up in HB..@ 4yo..it's abig beach w hot sand..smell of chips..salsa...&remebering hearing that name..& thinking how cool it was...circa 71-72?..dawn of boogie'board...
Listen to me I'm old school 70 years old Don't get me wrong but the surfers in these videos Don't compare to today's surfers they're moves look infantile I don't know if it's the boards of the times or the people but today's surfers are way more energetic hit more off the lip and or radical terms I don't know maybe this was just a bad day for all of them

Lived and surfed HB in the 70s and you could always tell when David Nuuhiwa was out, cool dude and pure style.

150 proof is better used to disinfect wounds.
Awesome video! Domes!!!! Amazing wave! First time for me was 2006. Solo trip that’s forever burned in my memories.

Classic, graceful surfing. Before you had to make 5 turns each second to be considered a good surfer
I love surfing DOMES, that big rock that sticks out on the inside like a mini pyramid is wicked at low tide. Saw my first sea turtle there love it!
Thanks for posting. Brilliant
Beautiful surfing. Love watching all the different riders expressing themselves on their different boards. So many unique styles.
Imagine surfing this contest with the current skill surfing is held at now. People would be blown away
Thanks ! This video is in much better condition than I have seen.
I surfed Domes in 1971 , it was uncrowded and just fun and beautiful.
I love PR. Rincon is still an amazing spot. Was over there last month and it was firing. Love the history
Grassroots of modern day surfing. So cool !!
What about Mark “Cutback” Davis or Bob “Jungle Dead” Gerard?!?

Dude’s in a suit!!
Love it
I heard he was wearing slippers though .
We anchored in Rincon before sailing to the DR and man was it rolly! This now explains it - it’s a major surf spot😂
Glad I was around in the '60s.
David would go on to be one of the first innovators of the "Fish". I saw my first Fish about 1975. Hello to the locals from 11th Ave. Indialantic.

Why do they always put power plants in front of good wave breaking spots?
Back when swimming and bodysurfing skills were a hard requirement
The Era of the 8 foot short board. Pre-Thrusters, still single fin.

No ankle leashes back in the day? Think of all the energy burned going to grab your board and then get back to a lineup 🫨
