Fantastic seeing these surfers from an incredible period for the sport at both Pipeline, and Sunset. So many incredible surfers along the north shore in those days. Thanks for bringing back the memories of my childhood growing up on Oahu. A remarkable period indeed. Aloha and Mahalo, C A
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the clip. Please subscribe for more. We're re-scanning everything we find at an archival quality so these memories will be there for generations to come :)
Haha. We can't go back unfortunately, but there spirit is still out there. Just have to go looking a little further! th-cam.com/users/shortsHXN5ndth-Sc
I'm 66 and started surfing regularly in 1969 when I was 11, and it was great! Surfing back then wasn't commercialized like it is now, and there was plenty of waves for everyone.
I grew up with all these guys as my idols, especially BK, Reno, and Hakman. SoCal Newport/Huntington surf rat, had to stop 3 years ago, bad hip etc. What a great video, thanks so much.
It's a great film. We reckon it deserved a far bigger profile. Phil was an excellent filmmaker. The full film is available to buy or rent here vimeo.com/ondemand/awinterstale
That is better than watching any surf contest . Ide rather watch these stylists back then before watching anything later than 1985. The lines and style was just different. These guys were core. No kid grows up without surfing without a leash .
We love watching to too! We have about 150 hours of footage scanned and restored and will be uploading over the next ...year or two. Can't wait to share. So much good stuff! Please subscribe and share to help us build the channel and keep it going. Thanks for the comment. Gives us the enthusiasm to keep at it!
I had watched maybe a minute and thought "no leg ropes?", so rewatched and then the Sunset section totally confirmed it. Some of the tricks to push the board through. Still like to take my leash off in small surf. A 'pure" experience no wettie no leash.
I learned to surf without a leash and I still have a vicious backside kick out but my frontside is very weak. I don't know exactly what that means except that I must be heel centric. Happy subscriber, BTW.
1974…the year I got my first board at age 12 and learned to surf. I am a child of the psychedelic 70’s generation, the short board revolution, before pro surfing and sponsors, when surfing was just for fun…
Single fins with the wide-point-forward. You carved off the rails to turn, and you had to move your feet. Not like with thrusters where you just gotta wiggle your hips.
Great single fin surfing. I always wonder why Simon Anderson NEVER put a patent on hit Thruster three fin design!!??? Simon would be a Billionare now! 🥴
Right On, I was 14 in'74 ripping up the South Shore. It doesn't seem like 50 years ago! But it is and I still feel the STOKE✌❤🤗
so much style and grace
Style for decades!!
awesome era - loved Midget, BK, Hackman, Reno. Eddie. classic styles & lines.
Four LEGENDARY names! I remember them well. Eddie Went. Let's never forget.
And there’s more than four legends in the clip!!
@@surffilmarchive Amen to that!!

TAKE ME BACK!!! Surfing seemed to make a lot more sense back then, at least to me.

gee I lived there then just across Kam Hwy. ..up "bummer hill". about a mile south of Kammies.
🤙🤙🤙
Thought I saw Gary Chapman on a wave at Pipe. R.i.p., he was incredible.
I love how Hakman loses it but still manages to get the board up and over the wave. He saved himself a long swim.
We love those pre-leg rope kickouts! Make sure you subscribe for more clips like this. Thanks :)

Pre leg leash .. unreal … true watermen 🙏🙏
Must have been super fit! Thanks for watching. Please subscribe. There’s plenty more to come.

Cool memories. It’s still fun. Just got to paddle out :)
I love the buffilo springfeild in the back
Amazing lifestyle
First surf movie I ever saw.
It's a good one. The full film is available to buy or rent here - vimeo.com/ondemand/awinterstale
The cosmic children. Surfing had soul back then. What happened?
The cosmic children sold It out to wall st
@@douglasbell8408...cosmic children with Duke on the poster...contests ruined the "sport

@@powerlooper9121 ...and now you have Ed Shreds with a cast of Huntington Hoppers trying to "kill" the wave...
It's still out there. Just gotta go looking for it! :)
Never be anyone as cool as Lopez
He’s hard to beat for cool!
I miss 1970s beach girls.
the girl at 00:53
👌😎
Almost all of them riding lightning bolt ⚡️
Is that turtle beach 0:07 haha
...one world...one fin...no leash...
Simpler times!
I still ( sometimes) ride my 7.0 single fin Challenger with no leash to keep me humble
Haha! Time has humbled us…leash or no leash. Enjoy it!
Great Video. Was Jamie's Dad out there ?
Looked a lot like Jerry Lopez on some of those Pipe waves?
Yeah, also Rory Russell and the pride of Laguna Beach, Mike Armstrong charging.
@@artlover1477 So many legends in this clip!!
garanz is was Lopez.
Looks to me that those are actually the best boards for pipe
There's something pretty about them!
The grommets came with thrash
"No leashes!" Folks
In 64 learning to surf, swam to the beach countless times.
Good learning curve!! :)
Leashes allowed way to many Wannabe 🏄🏻 They all would of Quit after a couple "Wipeouts!"
The leash allowed many to 🏄🏻 that would of normally Quit! 💪🏻🤙🏻
Isn’t the guy at 0:57 Jerry Lopez?
It is. Too many legends in one clip to namecheck them all :)
No mobile phones ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't know how I haven't noticed the similarities between Tommy Carroll and Jeff Hakman's surfing. Maybe TC was influenced by Hakman?
Great single fin surfing. I always wonder why Simon Anderson NEVER put a patent on hit Thruster three fin design!!??? Simon would be a Billionare now! 🥴
Too nice a guy maybe!
only guy missing is Bill Barnfield
