Bertlemann was always the best surfer out-- by far --on any given day. All us Hawaii kids knew he was the most radical surfer of his time, taking the whole art of surfing into the future.
Love this footage of him entering the tube on his board, then bodysurfing out of it. And switching stance to get tubed front-side (and making it!) at Alamo. All in a day's work...

So far ahead of his time, and yet still of his time.
One of the few that changed surfing forever, and for the better.

What is amazing is how well LB surfs on a board that by today's standards, would be considered unrideable.

Hi Larry,
Do you remember going to an Elks Lodge concert in San Clemente, circa 1980, for a concert where a band called "Chateau" played? You were there with Gerry and Shaun Thompson, probably in town for a Quiksilver tourney at Trestles... If so, I was the keyboardist surfer in the band, and my drummer/roommate was Matt Sorum, who went on to drum for The Cult, Guns N Roses, and now with Velvet Revolver. I had long red hair, and picked up your tab at the bar!
Aloha bro

Watching this vid of LB, guys like him, buttons, Lopez, etc. surf better than the guys today, maybe with the exception of Slater. the things guys lack today is style.
