Cool find! I remember watching the Thrill Seekers show when I was a kid. You guys have to understand too, that shows like these were probably the only glimpse of surfing that mainstream America could see, without actually going to HI or CA etc...or a local theater that had surf films. No Fuel TV back then.
I'm so suprised this hasn't gotten more attention. This is a really cool video. Makes one think about how much surfing has changed and evolved. To think that was when fiberglass was the only material the pros used, shapes were all almost the same, surfing competitions were still relatively small, a gallon of gas probly cost 60 cents, it's all just wild. Even though the overall theme seems corny to my young generation, when you compare it to new surf videos, it makes me appreciate surfing more.
In Venezuela was called The Taste of Danger, EL SABOR DEL PELIGRO, aired in 1972 for venevision channel 4, I was a child
