Clip from Free and Easy by Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman where David Nuuhiwa is introduced to Pipeline. Also featuring great rides by Jock Sutherland and Greg Noll.
73 and I still bodysurf Panics occasionally. Grateful I got to surf my brains out in my youth. I guess I'm weird but I'm stoked being where I'm at now. Grateful for my past. But even more grateful for my life right now.
I met Jock Sutherland when he was stationed at Fort Ord, CA Some days, I would pick him up and drive him around the Monterey and Carmel Peninsula to find some waves. One place was the Pacific Grove pier, a rocky area, point break and on a big day a steep drop. One day while surfing Carmel Beach, David Nuuhiwa showed up and started surfing with Jock. I still have many pictures of David looked into the glassy tubes. Such a perfect day.
Phew, those off season late spring days are some of the best...so cool to be home fo get um.... especially w your brothers. Fam just owning it, only coming out of the water to get food and change broken boards 🤙🏼
This was great. I was just just starting to surf in 65. Funny thing is David N ended up being the bad boy and Jock was the straight guy who took 1st in Rincon. Great post
Que maravilha e os comentaristas todos havainos local amigos dos cara . Tudo brother tipo Batman e Robin! !HAHAHAHAHA . Até Pipeline era pequeno estava crescendo ainda . Valeu 👍✌Tmj 👊na próxima trip!!!!! Aloha 🌺🏄
This video is probably in the early 70's. David Nuuhiwa didn't show up on the surfing scene until after The Endless Summer and a couple of other classics. He quickly became the noseriding king. This commentary sounded exactly like Bruce Brown.
Not sure of the year, I was at my cousin’s house on the beach at Newport Beach, helping clean their garage. A van pulls up next door and David Nuuhiwa starts unloading his surfboards with the eagle symbol. I was like oh crap, but didn’t want to bother him. It was kinda cool for a gremmie.
When the long boards were snapping back then, that was God/nature hinting, trim down ya logs lads, you'll surf much easier, faster, looser, tighter & higher 🏄♂️🏄♀️
Compared to earlier solid redwood boards, when foam and fibreglass boards first came out they were so, "...easier, faster, looser, tighter & higher & tighter."
Ah, man, I'm 62 and started surfing in 1965 and this stuff makes me want to go back in time.
So many people want to go back in time yet so few want to help create our future time

Love the background music, a combo of Batman theme, and Dickie Dale guitars! So 60's!
I love you ol' timers and your surf stories. I have my stories of the 80's but they're nothing compared to you old farts. I love you legends. 🤙
Haha Greg Noll went down like a sack of concrete 🤣
David N.. was always a long boarder at heart. i use to see him in Baja all the time.. always road an old school 9' heavy resin board and ripped

Jay, do I understand you to have photographed Nuuhiwa? If so, would you have any interest in selling me some prints?
Used to see Nuuhiwa surf Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA in the late 60s. Apparently, for some reason he moved from Hawaii to San Diego.
the commentary is priceless
man, those were the days, even though the surf at VB sucked.
It's amazing how quickly David "wired" these waves. He was a graceful and fluid surfer, one of the best long boarders ever.
But he studied it for 2 hours, and his board appeared to be shaped for pipe.
Still amazing.

Miss living around the corner from this great family.They got a kick out a my brother" running backwards!"
Bought a stick from Mr. Nuuhiwa in the 70’s . My first real board .narrow rails ; was a bit fast for me but I learned it and loved it,Awesome
In the seventies my friend stayed at Jock's house. He dinged his board on Jock's washing machine. He showed that ding to everybody.
Belly boarders were wrecking shop back in the day🤘🤘
Occasionally, John was *spit* from a *spitting* *spitter*
I think Greg Nolls hurt the water when he fell!

Nah, no one road logs in the early 70’s. Mid 60’s. Bruce Browns narratives were way cooler than this Hollywood square.
Definitely 60s!
Like how the vid makes the falls seem comical and without consequence.
Right?
Hit the bottom at Pipe and broke my knee but good.
Wasn't comical at all to me.

what great footage
😂 ... so dramatic! ... now you can walk across the boards it is so freaking crowded! ... went to school with Jock .... still love longboards best!
Most people don't know about Jock's switch foot skills.
Nice ...
Awesome...
I don't think that's a tan, I think that's the natural color of his skin 0:47
Savage parks is hawaiian. So yeah Dat his natural skin color
Cool man.
Did they say they called him savage because of his dark tan?
belly boarders :D
Excellent! those body boarders were riding rafts. ..
sick nuuhiwa
Still longboard era.
Savages & Rippum ups he Said’ wow’ true Kupuna
Spongers ghosting off the shoulder
@Richard Gleaves whatever the belly boarders werr riding back then, definitely shoulder hogging and dropping in on the pedestrians
There were no, "Spongers," in 1968. That was a paipo rider.
@@ATMfromNJ
Most paipo riders rode on their knees and they got insane rides. Don't let one lolo make you think all paipo riders are/were drop ins.
3:03 tube dodger
Savage is my hero. He just needs a waaaay better name.
"BOINK"....."POW"........."ZORP".....
