On the wave surfed on min 2 ish, he past next to shortboards, there were shortboards and acuatic cameras on that time?

The water footage in Hawaii shown was probably taken from a canoe using a camera without a water housing.

Thanks Roy,

I think where the film fades off at 2:58, right after that the 'Duke' has a Wahine climb on his shoulders. I have seen that in other video.

I like at 3:30 where there are three people on the same board before the wave leaves them behind. Also, At 3:50 where the one person steps onto the board on the right and then there are two on the same board. Then both jump off.

Ah!! Those were the days.... Mahalo nui loa, Bob

I have this same footage! I was impressed that my grandma's cousin got such good film of surfers but I now see he spliced in a professional film with his own film. Mine has a March 1928 date on it, so the professional part probably was filmed before then.
