  • Are those John Larronde's old movies?

  • @j9larronde I'm not sure I got them from Ben Marcus at surfer mag.

  • Brilliant historical footage !! And ONLY a mal can ride that nice, full, wonderful, small but beautifully-shaped wave ....

  • @colindominy Hi I'm pleasede that you enjoyed the video. . . . those boards are not mals though, mals were introduced later and were the lightweight shortboards of the day, designed for women. . the boards in the video are much longer and heavier

  • Yes it appears to be a bit faster than it should be. The footage is from a dvd called 'Most supreme pleasure'

  • Like the refrain in Bruce Brown's endless summer.

    " Ya shudda been here yesterday "

    Brother don't I know it.

  • God look. There's like nothing on PCH. Amazing time to be there. I first saw Malibu in '58 right before Gidget came out. I saw all the boards leaning against the wall and wondered what the hell it was. I thought they were African shields. The surf was like a lake that day. Surfing in those days was a "roadside curiosity". An excuse to pull over and have a picnic. All that changed in '59 w/ Gidget. No parking places after that....

  • ...like watching life on another planet - before all the crap when sharing a wave was the ideal. The Fall, again.

  • Great footage! I want to be a time traveler!

  • Wow! This is great thanks! A historical document. Gliding along on those no fin wood monsters no crowds out in the wide open country that was Malibu.

    Can't help but think about 13 year old
