1967 movie the hot generation.

Awhoooooo! Now, THAT'S surfin'! George Greenough! "The Inner Most Limits of Pure Fun". Put a 16mm camera on his back and mat surfed the tube!

The Sandals...Endless Summer Theme Music...one of the most pleasant bits of music I ever heard and still love it after all these years.
Good Video G, thanks, R.

To this day, "Pipeline" by the Chantays is my most favorite. There's a oh so cheesy video of them playing on the Lawrence Welk Show that's hilarious. My other favs are Mister Moto and Penetration.

 

[Archer]

Yes, Pipeline has always been another favourite of mine as well...

Okay, fellas . . . are you ready for this? The Surf Punks! Most excellent and hilarious guys from the eighties. Remember the awful Captain and Tennille? Well, Dennis Dragon is the Captain's younger brother.

Lovely video although my heart was in my throat a couple of times thinking those surfers were going to hit the rocks! We have lots of beaches here and a few are the favorite surfing spots. I've never surfed other that fooling around and trying to body surf which was a lot of fun. This was taken at one of the better surfing beaches. I don't know the dude in the picture, but it is off the beach's web site.

Lovely video although my heart was in my throat a couple of times thinking those surfers were going to hit the rocks!

Oh, it happens! There was a jetty I used to surf that you had to take off right in front of and paddling into a charging wave while looking at those rocks was quite the incentive to GO or . . . not and get smashed...
