I haven't seen this footage since 1975. My father had a weekend job as a projectionist in a cinema in the mid '70's and I used to go with him to help out. I got to see Crystal Voyager several times for free. Even Dad was impressed with, what at the time, was the "revolutionary" idea of strapping an underwater camera to a guy's back and filming breaking waves from inside the tube. "Echoes" is a perfect accompanying soundtrack.
Saw this film on tv when I came home from work one afternoon. AMAZING!!! Could never find it anywhere until I stumbled across it here by accident. Thank you,thank you, cos I will view it over and over again. My favourite ever Pink Floyd track.
Found a VHS tape of Crystal Voyager in the attic earlier and thought I'd look it up as I haven't watched it for Donkey's.
Not sure if it's true but I seem to remember it being said that this was the first time a wave 'tube' had been filmed in this way. Not a surfing fan just a lover of Floyd.

This is the most amazing flick I've ever seen on Youtube. I say that as a surfer and a PF fan: perfect!
