[PapaLuvTLC]

Kauwabunga...

[JChoneybell]

Nice!!!

[hfreeman17]

What's cool about this clip is the narrator's obvious appreciation for the surfers and their stories, as well as the joint history they created. Nice post.

[knomeish1331]

Awesome!



[montrosepatriot]

01:04: this wave is a piece of stock footage later used by CBS...

[chocoholic77]

I've seen the clip of Greg's wave before, but never actually knew the day was totally documented. WOW!

That was super cool.

Thanks

[upsidedahead]

 That is just BEAUTIFUL !!!

[glebe3047]

Greg Noll and those famous shorts. The most famous surfing foto ever of him standing on the beach this day.

[clarkewi]

Absolutely classic. Still gives me goosebumps and I first saw this clip almost 50 years ago on "Surf's Up" in LA. A local surf show that had some great clips from Bruce Brown, Dale Davis, Walt Phillips and other pioneers.

[NarisTorquere]

Real men, real boards, real waves

[WindEffected]

atomic bomb gotta love playing with them

[saddamdontsurf]

The " ancients " rarely surfed the country ( north shore ) at all . Theres very little proof they ever surfed Ehukai . Its called the sport of kings because only royalty was allowed to do it. The punishment for normal people caught on a surfboard was banishment or death . Most surfing was done on the south or east shore. The rare exception was Paumalu . Only the very top of the royal family were allowed . Today its known as Sunset beach .

[aggroed]

hermosa local

[johnnykR9]

this is really cool! No leashes - no tow-ins - there was a lot of swimming

Island pullout!  Yeah i remember those!

Thanks for posting

[sfilindrus]

[twelby1]

no jets skis or tow ropes just pure testicular fortitude.

[lexicachia]

Those men should take over the Whitehouse.

[SurfersDreamland]

Happy new surf :-)

Phat! Thanx for this vid!

Please notice that these were haoles, not Hawaiians. Yes indeed, we're the pioneers of the earth.

[SouthJerseyMatt]

True Pioneers. Huge Balls.

[neutronbomb1000]

Ha ha. "For once the weather bureau correctly prognosticated the storm surf". While these dudes were pioneering surfing, the narrator was pioneering surf lingo.

Classic. Top vid all round.

[thepengestration]

Thanks for the link! This was one of the most harrowing surf clips I've seen EVER! Definitely a blast from the past, real surf LEGENDS.

THANK YOU! :D

[LandofJaker]

the first guys to charge one of the heaviest waves on the planet, with 50 lb boards, no leash and cojones the size of bowling balls. tip of the hat to the pioneers of Pipeline!

[16fcali]

Lol at the poor helpless non-surfing girls freaking out on the beach

[TWSURFBLUE]

Thanks Dude!!

[sirimar53]

"Latent homos" Your life is your art!

[DikkSteini]

Surfers are fucking homos.

Black Butch went out and dominated. Comes from surfing La Jolla reefs. Long live Butch

[MsBirdFan]

@dudleygarramone

Thank you for remembering my brother Black Butch~Always Butchs Sis~Annette

[boricuamamii09]

I know Greg Noll and Mike Stang. Mike Stang is actually my step grandpa he still has the same spirit today as he did . hes living a comfortable happy life up near Redding, Ca

[ZeroFaster]

Damn... Pipe is going off.

[pchdad]

Big Wednesday Sfayp is in reference to the North Swell in the spring of 1974. It came on a wednesday and lasted only the night. That swell was from Rincon to San Clemente and the waves ranged from 15' to 20' that day. Pipeline always has big waves and always will. Im not taking away from anyone who has ever rode a big wave, no no no. That would be just plain silly to do that. Im just trying to tell all of you what the movie was about. It was about actual events.

[onemillioninchange]

a killer piece of history.

"naturally... noone had ever ridden the thing, because it would be pure suicide" .....

"except like...a hundred Hawaiians who had lived and surfed there for about 1000 years before random white dudes who change in garbage cans showed up...."

[321moe]

Nah, they were the first, there's no evidence of Hawaiians ever surfed that big.

[ha8wai0ian8]

no bra actually there is...captain cook and other white travelers documented the natives riding dese kine all over including waikiki,peahi, and different breaks along the north shore. It was recorded that every break was surfed by the kahunas at the time because the kahunas owned the enitre north shore of oahu

[TWSURFBLUE]

Luckily the Russians didn't get where I was raised, or we would all be in Siberia sucking Russian cocks.

Later haole

[brickfacade]

the commentary on this is so funny!

"that's five inevitables!"

lol

[zeturion]

heavy boards + no leash + no experiency in big waves = crazy surfers!

[migasggg]

they do have experience in big surf.alot!they wouldnt be riding this if they had no experience

[ZeroFaster]

Experiency isn't a word...

[dimworks]

3:52 = "Rick makes an Island Pullout and races back outside in time to see Charley screaming across a hairy wall."

i lold

These guys had big, brass balls. Epic vid, thanks.

[fux1978]

great video..greats surfer..thaks to post it.. this is the really soul of the surf...

[SFAYP]

This vid rules.

So many "Big Wednesdays", this has to be the real deal.

[specifictender]

I am full of respect and awe. To do this on those boards...........incredibly courageous.

[thatsbollox]

filling my pants just watchin them.

[antikanismo]

ke huevos ke tenian!!!!!!!!!1

[oOWrvOo12]

Sick

you have to respect these guys man

[Radelaidegrom]

lol... hey jack whats that stuff they're putting on their boards?

[finalfanta25]

hah these guys are crazy. i don't know what was going through their mind, but the next time i go to a bar i want to kick some beers with these guys.

[jorgedominguez2007]

These were the true pioneers. No leashes, no jet-skis. And the video is awesome, beats most of todays surfing videos with awesome waves and ugly music.

[thesurfsflat]

Too true... respect to them.

But todays lads have pushed surfing to a new level, in regards to height.

[philjquitt]

Respect.

[evilcheese439]

wow they paddle out on those things in that and i wont even paddle a longboard out when its 6 foot haha

[badboyforlove]

surely at least one, if not all of them sustained NSSI that Wednesday...

big sac

[inkosurf]

that needs really big balls... great vid

[snatchviper]

FUCKIN BALLS, no leashes, no copters, no jet skis what absolute warriors. greg noll may have had the ride of the day, hats off, but anyone willing to go out there deserves a place in the surfing hall of fame period

[videorambo]

Greg Noll is the man!!!

[DickStainy]

There ya go prognosticatin' again.

[chainzaw367]

huge courage . thay are not even trippin

[rogerrodd]

Thanks for the posting. Today's greatest have these fellas to thank for blazing the trail. The courage it took to challenge that spot without being towed in and having virtual tugboats for boards is incomprehensible.

[fluffyvswhity2]

dam... that is some legendary.

[zapdelivers]

Also looks like this's where 'Hawaii 5-0' got the wave footage (about 30 seconds or so into this video) used at the beginning of the show.

[gletss]

legendary

[ehunter2]

incredible athletes...look at those boards how they rode pipeline is beyond belief

and they were THE FIRST..takes so much more guts to be first

[UFOIST]

Incredible vintage - these guys are legendary.

[zonasansiro]

wow!

[andross51]

Greg Noll and Ricky Grigg are two of the greatest surfing legends ever, they had to have GUTS to surf waves of that size for that time!!!

[DickStainy]

This is just a clip from Endless Summer.

[supertonesurf]

no it's form a very rare surf-movie called "blue surfarie" 1963 i got it form a 16mm film transfer in the early 80's true the ancient Hawaiians where the first to surf the place a very long time ago even the duke body surf it in the early 1900's

[MrZeel]

Where can I get this movie?

[supertonesurf]

i have never seen the flim for sale any where, someone told me he saw a DVD for sale on e-bay a while back, i checked and didn't find any but that was a while ago.i have made copys for people over the years for shipping costs, e-mail me at my youtube account

[dumbass967]

they're good but theyre only da first surfahs 2 be filmed while riding dese waves

da ancient hawaiians used 2 challenge each other to ride waves dis size and bigger

but props to these guys they hav balls

[NarleyDude07]

fucking amazing - those dudes are ace !

[surfohio]

Just Amazing.

[psyderplex]

Only Greg Noll would be the one riding it cool! He is like the bowl riding skater of the surfing world bahaha!

[FenderBender2]

Greg was a tank haha

[mattiusthegreat]

mmmmmm, if your under 25 this summer, give it up and go surfin all summer long!

[fabiinhobranco]

Style! (Y)

[shadowninjastriker]

Take a look at the clip from 1:03-1:09. That is the clip used at the beginning of the intro of Hawaii Five-O. Amazing!

[albysticazzi]

awsome!!!!! this guys were incredible..i can't belive that they rode that kind of big waves with the old heavvy surfboards...without leash...without wetsuit...without everythin....they were champions like no one!!!!

[beachhobo1991]

its hawaii, you dont wear wetsuits... but still kudos for riding those logs at pipeline

[KerryBarger]

Great footage !!! 5 stars!

[marctrainor777]

They used to call this place the "Banzi" Pipline, back in the early to mid 60's, when I was surfing. Greg Knoll was king, and still is in my eyes, because he was one of the first to ride these huge waves and Waimea Bay. What a stud. Marc Trainor.

[SDsurfer10]

greg noll such a beast

[jedwards1975]

OUTSIDE!

hahahaha

[MonarchyMartina]

God bless Greg Knoll! I like the old footage.

[dgsdggs]

i know greg nolls son

[ptgugamano]

tHAT'S WHAT I COULD COURAGE AND A VERY BRAVE TEAM SPIRIT

[sacrificialglory]

Prognosticated? ROFL

[MarcS4R]

Damn now thats what i call courage. No yet skies, no boats, no helicopters, no leashes. Greg Noll is a Legend...

[bongojim]

It's from "Blue Surfari."

[grntree]

is'nt riki actually mikki dora?

[isaacache]

Greg Noll is still the ultimate surfer, despite Rick´s wave, I still think Greg got the best one of the day, hollow, long, fast and powerfull Banzai Pipeline.

[SurfAlien2]

Greg Knoll is the man when it comes to big wave surfing, but so are Laird Hamilton and Jeff Clark.

[8each8um]

Awesome vid!!

[GOSJSU]

Great clip. Man those guys have guts.

[AceKray]

Ron & Reg BIG WEDNESDAY 80/20

[GBJPhotoWorks]

[shl60320]

[jollyholly]

[hunglikegod]

"storm surge the force of an atomic bomb"

[t1hundred]

studs what a great clip

[ytcarol]

Good commentary - tight and accurate like an ace sports commentator. Keeps your eye on the surfer.

[haggardtom]

fuck yeah i wish surfing was still like this. too many dickheads in the water these days

[wallyworld]

Yep...it's over. I've just been down South of France (Biarritz, Lacanau etc) and there are hundreds of kooks fighting over 2 foot slop. I started surfing (on boards) in the early Sixties when it was like a fraternity. Now it's dog eat dog. Sad.

[wallyfx]

nice video

[selubmx]

this is real history. no words.

[luisedu866]

how do they get they boards after a wrong drop?

[fatshady6]

buy a new 1 lol :D

[wallyworld]

You swim brother.

[brazucav24]

muito loco !

[tgl9000]

Bud Browne's shot of Noll is much tighter (zoomed in) and shot at a higher frame rate (slo-motion). This footage looks to be from Milton Blair. I could be wrong...

[DJSamael]

Surf's History, tanxs for share

[onebakedpotato]

my stomach was in my throat the whole time! Whew! Those cross curents near the beach are so fast! You get in and you are taken to Ehukai in a flash if you don't paddle hard enough. Great story.

[bongojim1]

Bud Brown shot Greg's wave at outside pipeline.

[mack645]

Who shot this footage? Is it from Noll's archive, from the days when he was making films?

If not, does anyone know who the film-maker is?

[justjustino]

The real big riders... no leash, no jets, no 3 fins guns... just corage! Soul surf!!! luv it

[captainron1]

Great for the archives.  All watermen

[rkalani84]

History. Long live Da Bull.
