All the talk about 'total involvement' and revolutionary surfing of some Aussies in the mid to late '60's could equally apply to Phil in the late '50's.

Watch and learn kiddies,this is how it is done with style and class !

The first surfer to surf Pipeline, that´s better than be a world champion!
Seems like quite a few have claimed that.

the Gold Standard...
From "Surfing hollow Days" by Bruce Browne
Hi Mike we worked together at Breakers Seaood, I was 19 yrs. Old. Do you remember me? I'm now 58.
turning a 60lb board around like a potato chip and making it look easy, That's Talent!!
Not 60, closer to 40 pounds max, but still heavy.
Dang. That board is so steady it’s like a concrete block.
He's the best
BRAVO BEST VIDEO ON TH-cam!!!!
PhiL named that board " Baby " . . .SoLid BaLsa !
Surfocker,1 of your Phil Edwards videos includes the music La bamba, where is it 🤔?
Can someone please post the footage of the first time pipeline was riding by him.
It's here at 7:45
que gas
The "Tamarack Kid"!
AKA the Guayule Kid ... same place, though.
Looks like a balsa board he's riding too.
What's the song that starts at 3:01?
mag wheels
Can anyone tell me where he rode these waves?
Ma'ili, West side
Phil Edwards Turns .... Christian Fletcher Airs thats it.
Even his backside was timeless
His backside cutback at 4:01 is just pure class and power
better style than Dora in my opinion
PHIL WAS MORE ...STYLES ...AND A BETTER A ALL SURFER.....1960 ...TO 1970........CLASSIC.. LOG..BOARD .....RIPPING WITH STYLE!!!!
Even less wasted motion than Dora???
Had a boat in dana point on the same dock as Phil he's not a friendly guy at all
Really? Him and his wife walk down my street everyday and they always say hi and are willing to chat any time. He's a really pleasant man.
I've always loved Phil Edward's style. But he admitted that he copied Dora.
Osides favorite son. Ya know, I can't remember seeing Miki going backside much. How was his drop knee? Let me know!
What's the song that starts at 3:31?
