What These guys are to surfing is like what jimmy Hendrix , the stones , the clash , SRV , LED zeppelin, Frank Zappa etc is to Music , Legends Thanks for posting , Respect ✊
What I would give to get back to these days this was the the day to be surfing no beach crowds just be at one with the elements and rip thanks for posting. 👍
It was surfed so different from back then . The opening salvo with the guy cutting back into the tube going in reverse was wild . That looked painful .
For those of you that made light ofJeff Crawford, hewon at least once and was well respected by the locals he was one of the crew that owned the pipe in the 70's and early 80's with the best of them Gerry Lopez, Rory Russell, Rick Rasmussen ( who was killed in New York on a drug deal gone bad) who was also form the east coast. He got pretty much scalped from the reef and then he went silent!! But he was all over covers of surfing and surfer magazine quite a bit. Rasmussen was on the cover of either surfer or surfing on what they said was the biggest wave at the pipe in years and he was barreled. He use to go to Uluwatu with Gerry and Rory and so did Crawford. Don't forget Kelly Slater is from same area as Crawford, Spanish house, Cocoa bch, Sebastion area. He is an East Coaster too.
Where is that footage of Gerry Lopez side slipping down at least15' into a massive Pipeline barrel with that Jimi Hendrix ELECTRIC version of the tune..."I hear My Train a Coming"......? in the background...... the film played forward and in reverse in slow motion? over & over while Hendrix jammed that tune. The best surf film I ever saw and heard. I was in a theater in 1974/5, I think Ventura Theater in Ventura, CA and I can't remember the name of the movie. Its burned into my brain.
Zoom in closer.. you know, because Pipeline is the last place I'd like to see the wave itself. In fact, why not zoom in tighter and just have the guys wave their arms while someone splashes water on them.
And it still is!!. He did way better once than that literal laybacks in the pocket snaps at massive pipeline. Go ahead and show me anybody that's doing that nowadays they don't. Show me some footage. Tom Carroll is a surfing God
It’s humbling to see this soooo many years later. Though in my mid fifty’s I still surf occasionally but would guess most of these guys don’t anymore. I remembered all of the names though haven’t heard or said most of the, for over 35-40 years. I was in California when Mark Foo died at Mavericks in 94’. That was the only name I didn’t see here. Good stuff!
obligatory North Shore quote: Rick: "Hey! Aren't you Alex Rogers?" Alex: "That's me... And this is my mate, Mark Occhilupo..." Rick: "Occhy!! *eye-rolls*
Does anyone have tips on how to paddle out with an old single fin like these? I've been gifted a ~6'6" Robert August single fin and I freakin LOVE the thing, and I love it more and more the bigger and more powerful the waves get. Only problem is I can't duck dive it like my short boards and I'm having trouble when its really macking.
Music is based on a bite from Van Halen's song "Panama", but they add clarinet, and alto sax and maybe a piccolo. This is the equivalent of snaking JOB at pipe, on a 10 foot elephant gun, and then paddling back out and telling him where to line up so it "doesn't happen again"

It's a damn shame the video quality is so bad. This is just epic footage of hall of fame surfers at pipe, legends all. The poor quality of the video transfer kind of kills it.
After watching these surfers , the boards are so clunky and cumbersome. From the look of it their is to much board out in from of them . To me they are finding it extremely hard to perform their manoeuvres . Don’t take me wrong they are all good Surfer’s, it’s just the boards .
A lot of names I haven't heard in a long time wow I am getting old.
Richard Kuszel me too 55. Missing the 80s a lot 😐
Where was Dane Keloha??
@@alberickmendes6472 yeah, me to gettin old sucks !😣

In Dogtown and the Z Boys, the crew credit Bertelman for his style of using his hand against the wave
Too bad we couldn’t get some of that music in this video!

What a classic..all legends what an era

The "guy" was Tom Carroll
@@marklehman627Thats what you would expect from a great surfer
Just took a shit..and continued watching while washing my hands! Great!!
Pipe is perfect for those close-ups but damn, I couldn't even get a concept of the wave they were on! Sheesh!

ed fast 😂
I will never get sick of watching this era of surfing... I dare any modern day surfer to ride the same board's on the same waves.
Phillip Micjan those boards were so badly designed
@@gregreed402 by who?
I remember this contest and footage. Carroll's snapback in the pocket at 02:08 was considered a daring and pioneering move at big Pipe.
And it still is!!. He did way better once than that literal laybacks in the pocket snaps at massive pipeline. Go ahead and show me anybody that's doing that nowadays they don't. Show me some footage. Tom Carroll is a surfing God
Good old times. RIP R Burns and Buttons 🙏
Fran Ra luck you Brother. Yes Big losses for our generation 🙏

Ronnie Burns RIP

And not a single barrel was made,
It was a crappy swell for the pipe wrong direction.
Much better without sound on .

Love those boards. A bit like a Mack truck at pipe but just perfect on big face waves.
And Jeff Crawford of Florida, lol
Jeff Crawford won at least once and was well respected by the locals he was one of the crew that owned the pipe in the 70's and early 80's with the best of them Gerry Lopez, Rory Russell, Rick Rasmussen ( who was killed in New York on a drug deal gone bad) who was also form the east coast.

heyyy porn music.... gotta love it!
These were my idols back then! Tearing it up!
Radical!
Go ronnie
I’m surprised no Kong Elkerton
wow ......
5:45 whoa!
Single fin style rules!
All time!
History.
Dissin "Jerry" then show him swimming in after getting flogged
bad music
When you have a board like that its easiest just to turtle it but make sure to go deep.
Music is horrible what were they thinking lol
Music is sick, still looking for the name
just a great contest all the way around !
Tem o filme North shore?
Eu tenho esse filme , eu fui postar no TH-cam , mais ficou só no meu canal por causa dos direitos autorais
Parecem ter menos controle que hj em dia.
Pranchas bem diferentes..Daí ser um estilo mais doido, uma espécie de dança na corda bamba

It might be part of the development of those particular surf boards but as I have said they were terrible
The boards were to undeveloped
Oh STFU, no one cares of your opinion.
After watching these surfers , the boards are so clunky and cumbersome. From the look of it their is to much board out in from of them . To me they are finding it extremely hard to perform their manoeuvres . Don’t take me wrong they are all good Surfer’s, it’s just the boards .
You need to research to understand how all phases of surfing evolution happened.
Surfboards were North Shore guns, designed for speed and getting into big waves. Not for aerials and donuts. They worked just fine…
