im 16 and this makes me sad that probably never again will surfing be the same or lifestyle be like the 60s. traveling for the perfect wave, no competitions, the mainstream music was amazing and didnt include a single computer, technology didnt rule the world... etc
@wangsta231 im the exact same way, only im 19, i get along better with all the older surfers that probly older than my parents haha. they just enjoy surfing for what it is. not competitions or sponsors. if i was one of those people in the video, i could have died that night and i would have died happy after having that session.
How Lucky I was to have surfed this break back the late 70's. Not big but Oh so paper thin, clean and perfect! It's a very deep bay allowing the waves to refract into perfect lines. In those days I had a single fin 7.2 Safari. Sad to hear it has been spoiled by development.
just another great spot that has been f'd up from coastal devolpoment....without the sand flow from the dunes it became just another ordinary wave...it's a shame
I retraced the boys steps in feb of '81. The wind had blown out the surf that day. Now the developers have fucked it up permanantly. I will always have my memories.
I saw this movie when I lived in Hawaii the summer of 1964 at Roosevelt High School. Bruce Brown himself narrated the entire movie live on stage. They gave away surfboards as door prizes.
It was a great movie then and still gets the energy rolling for me today.

6 Stars for "The waves are made by a machine" they were perfect, indeed.
