Haskulls Surfers 1975

From deep in the vaults of an old Goleta local named Bill Arellanes, we've edited some classic footage of life on the beach back in 1975. While the quality is a little rough, it's still clear that these guys lived to surf on any sized waves. Notice the board shapes and the different types of wetsuit combinations, not to mention the Haskells pier and how much different it looked back then. We would appreciate any help identifying the surfers in the film. Contact us by making a comment on this youtube page, or at www.goletasurfing.com. The music is a song called "Haskulls" by the 20 Foot Faces, and was provided by another Goleta boy, Dave Oettinger.

I surfed these little driblers from 64-75. Then I moved to Santa Cruz. That was a good call.

Yes, how I miss those days in the 60's and 70's hiking the secluded trails to Haskell's and Driftwoods...and the forays up to Deadman's, Seals, and Naples. It was a quiet place. Only the surfers, and the oil guys at work on the pier. I still have drawings and paintings inspired by the pastoral scenes there. The glassy waves I surfed remain in my mind's dreams. It was an era now gone. Now, many miles to the north, I still surf hidden places on a wild coast. Thanks for keeping the memory alive.

Surfed the Pier a few times in 72-73 but people said it was better in the 60s. Surfed with Tommy the Kid, Little Norman, Cappy, and a host of others from Goleta. Good times sneaking into Eds and playing with the rock at Deadmans. Too bad it isn't like that any more.
