George Greenough Mat Riding on a Converse-Hodgman on Maui in 1967!

That little bog-down at 0:16, that's one thing that irks me on a mat. Often difficult to regain speed and susceptible to the wave's will. Good to see I'm not the only one.

Nice. Clean, blue, warm, uncrowded. I could use me some of that right about now.

Yep That's right it is from Paul Witzig's recently remastered "The Hot Generation". I asked him if he had any other mat riding footage but unfortunately not. Oh well. It is great to have this footage of George tearing up some big Hawaiian waves! Well, worth checking out the slow-mo version too. He still looks like he is going fast!

this is lifted from Paul Witzig's 'The Hot Generation' 1968 (recently remastered)...how about credit where credit's due...?

Thanks for posting this, Ramsnake!

One minor historical tidbit: "Hodgeman" was spelled "Hodgman."

Who else was pulling into overhead tubes in 1967? Amazing, beautiful. Thanks for posting!!
