Honolua before cords really kept the hobbyists at bay (no pun intended).. That and one board quivers vs. the cliff required overnight major ding repair skills. Saw many old mates in those clips. What a great time to be alive and be a surfer!
Hey Joyton, I came along to the Orpheum screening of YSHBHY. Excellent Beautifully crafted together and it has to be said, amazing score, the band you mentioned NAILED the sound, matched eras and overall dynamism blending all the moods. Congratulations and I hope this Archive really gets critical mass. Well done J, worth your huge effort !!
"We belong to the hot generation and we take to the sea feeling high vibrations. You can't see the way we feel cause the way we feel is just unreal. We live to be free , give your heart to the sea". Taman Shud theme song for "The Hot Generation" surf movie. From the 60's.
Absolutely awesome-, amazing to watch the transition still happening from long board to short board. It is a lost world, life was much simpler (although I was a grom...)
5-10s and 5'4s were used several years before that. You are in error. The photographers CHOSE to focus on the people using antiquated boards. SAME occurred in USA in the 1960s, with their focusing on Noseriders and their HUGE bloated board noses, WHILE actual GOOD surfers, were using boards shorter than those shown in this video 4 YEARS later. Even I, nameless was dong carving floaters over the Velzyland bowls on boards MORE maneuverable and faster, and better, than these surfers vaguely doepd up cruising as if on giant giant tourist ships. There were days, most commonly having only 3-4 guys out at Pipeline, when voer 2/3 of the waves I, no one, nameless, because avoiding crowds and the TOTALLY ridiculous "competitions" to which everyone jacks off, got completely barreled, while the old guys just sat. There were other REALLY good surfers, unblitzed, unstoned, whose reflexes ALSO allowed carving 360s back or frontside. Neither did they ride bogus monster, unturnable "miniguns" the boring delusion that occupied most of the 70s magazines, etc. The old shapers refused to shape what we wanted, so only a few shapers, tending to be under 21, satisfied our needs. You are a victim of a narrative imposed EXACTLY like the present major news, ignoring reality in favor of what their machine desired. I suggest IN ANY CASE, that you reject the penchant for cameras and instead ravel and live solely in reality, in the present moment. NOTHING exists for you without record, so you will remain, ihstead, deluded (even i, nameless, nobody, pulled loops inside small hollow waves in the late 1960s, although when it gets bigger, the physics seems not to allow success) I expected better from filmmakers, who did not themselves explore outside already overcrowded places, and slow-reflexed cruisers. Kook experiences do not make reality. .
In the 60's early 70's You chased your Board all day swimming in the Beginning! (No leashes) Then eventually you figured it out! 🏄🏻 Your first ride you'll never forget! 🌊 "Great Daze!" 🤙🏻
Most "Quit" if they didn't get a ride, right away! The leash was a dbl. Edge sword. It helped the Pro's & True 🏄🏻But it also made the good days, 🌊 more Crowded. With all the Wannabe's! 🤙🏻@@surffilmarchive

Well done , preserving this footage for many more people to see in the future is very worthy.

That moment in time to stay forever!
Exactly!
Fantastic can’t wait
Stand by!
Thanks a lot for your work and for this videos. I'm enjoying them from the other part of the world. Keep up the good work !🙌
Great to hear. We'll keep going. Thanks for the encouragement!
Honolua, just like i surfed it in 81. Hi Gerry!
WOW
THE GOOD OLD DAYS ! 👍❤
No crowd , just living the dream !
the surfers in the film had it when it was and people will never have it like that very special
Amazing!!
We agree. It somehow captures the simple innocence of it all. Murray and Headland tie it together beautifully.
Witzig must have some awesome footage of the SA desert waves 🌊
We are looking. Are there any waves out there?!
@@surffilmarchive Careful, Moose will get his 303 out!🤣

But give your heart to God first.

Nice.

It was a steep learning curve, and must have kept them fit!

In the description 😊
Vlegend the best Tom Carroll
It was like this in Indonesia in the 80 's now the Russians have ruined it
a sincere question? are you guys adding faux ageing artifacts in the digitising process? If so, please don't.
This is exactly how we found it. We cleaned it up physically as much as we could. Nothing artificial here. Same goes for all the clips.
