Thanks for reminding me Simon. Interesting to compare what was groundbreaking footage and view of the sport with today. The very idea of pros using an air mat for fun so no one gets hurt (!) compared with what is seen as present extremes at Mavericks, Jaws, and the insanity of Indonesian reef breaks makes this really uplifting to watch as it still shows the sport to be accessible and cool for anyone and everyone

I saw this Crystal Voyager with Echoes Music from Pink Floyd when it first appeared in the Cinema. Been looking for it ever since. hanks for putting it on here

This is groundbreaking work by a genius. Modern surfing is based on this mans technique (these films don't show how radical he was at 10' Rincon). I saw George filming on a mat at Little Drakes in January 1970. Had the pleasure of talking with him on the beach when a big wave knocked the film off the camera reel and he had to come to shore. He explained how the equipment worked and it was a mind blower. "Innermost" had just came out. He looked exactly as in this film and had the CHP car etc.

#surfsup blew my young mind watching at the old Drake Cinema in Plymout in 1974

when surfing was a culture love lived those days .now is gone money ruins all .

This film was it for me. I was 10 years old and I started riding the same air rafts, graduating to Boogie boards, then knee boarding, and finally standing on Boogie boards riding functionally all the way to shore. Becuase of this very film, I eventually. like G.G. , was ahead of my time due to following his frame of mind. Firts landed aerial in 1985. Went pro in 1995, Ha ha retired by my sponsors in 2000 at age 30, ready to settle down and start a family. It all started with this film. God Bless

This and Chariots of The Gods are part-and-parcel of the same thing.

A time-warp to another time now long gone replaced with(well) something else!

whats the name of the first song

this movie was soo far ahead of its time he is amazing

[WhoDoYouWant]

Finally found this film that impacted so much on my young life back in the 70s! For me the ultimate surf movie. So evocative of the glory age of 70s music and being young and carefree. An intoxicating mix of music and image, just losing myself in the long, spacey scenes from inside the waves. A trip.

he was so far ahead of his time - remember watching this once on an afternoon off school when any surfing on British tv was very rare :)

thanks for posting

I remember seeing this amazing film in a hall in Fulham London in 1973 this was the first film followed by Fanyastic Planet far out what a night so pleased to see it again after so long, thanks a million.
