Laguna’s steep sand beaches and pounding shore break make it a seven-mile miracle for a unique sport: Skim boarding. While it may have originated here, today it’s a professional sport that has spread around the world. @AmberTorrealba @SoLagLocal @VictoriaSkimboards76 @SkidKids

When Freeride mountainbikers jumped fences to illegally ride Laguna Canyon and the Irvine Ranch, it was an illegal adrenaline rush. No one imagined they would fuel an industry, inspire a culture, and birth the extraordinary trail network we hike and ride today.

The story of how the world’s longest-running surf contest became a local icon that has bonded a community for almost 70 years. As a completely voluntary affair, The Brooks Street Classic Surf Contest has been a mix of local passion and improvisation since 1955. Heat-sheets are still organized according to community knowledge, and winners still become town heroes. Far more than just an emblem of...
Beautiful history and idyllic setting, but much has changed in Laguna since the art colony and counter-culture days.
There is a rare relic from this festival in the way of a very rare privately press vinyl live Lp that appeared in 1971 called (100% Unknown Fibers: Odd-Lots ) with the wild acid soaked music that played that day. 7 tracks with no band names except one band called (Sea and East Utopian Mission) and some wild stage announcements about Orange Sunshine and how little kids are getting dosed. they should of used the music from the lp for this video. (100% Unknown Fibers: Odd-Lots) is on UA-cam so give a listen drop some acid and Be There.......Freak Out
Isnt jeff booth the kook pro scared of Christian Fletchers aerial moves and wrote a protest letter to surfer magazine? Lol goon
Awesome
Laguna Beer is the epitome of community and inclusivity! This place is the best! And their beer is fantastic, that is important too.
Thank God it got shut down; non-violently, it appears. Sadly, Laguna Beach, though beautiful, is full of self-centered rather than Truth-centered people. 1 John 4:10,11
So good!! Way to go Brandy. Homage to Surf Addicts too...!
This Was RAD! Incredible film
Very similar to what happened at the Powder Ridge festival in Connecticut earlier that year. There, a state injunction was declared against the festival, the bands (many of whom were big names) pulled out, the organizers disappeared, and 20,000 hippies were sealed into the festival grounds as it was cordoned off by the police. The event was vilified in the press as a demonstration of the real basis the counterculture "drugs", As we are well aware today, all "drugs" are not the same: what they were really railing against was LSD. The festival became what was certainly one of the first "autonomous zones", as the police were afraid to enter the cordoned off area because they were so outnumbered. The scene lasted about 5 days. As the participants began to leave, the police began to haphazardly arrest them. The many attempts to suppress the counterculture after Woodstock were both horrific and pathetic. The forces of conformity, consumerism, and exploitation were genuinely threatened by people who valued self expression and the gathering of etherial experiences more than slavish adherence to the drab default culture and its obsession with gathering essentially worthless dross. Those nefarious "special interests" are still threatened, as they well should be. The struggle continues.

This was so RAD!! if you know you know ❤
Not one mention of any band are group that played??
Who's the twisted tye-dye guy? No wonder the concert failed.
The 'concert' didnt fail at all. It wasn't a concert. It was a Christmas party event with music. If you had been anywhere near there then you'd know better & you'd leave off with your lame remarks.
@@RichArtLove Oopsie!
I spy Tim Hahne artist/potter/righteous dude at 2:20!
Very warm memories of the Sawdust Festival about '75-ish, I ordered a custom dulcimer from a luthier there, very very cool dude. A month later he mailed it to me in Hermosa with a special inscribed message under the soundhole he left as a surprise...I've still got that beauty hanging on my wall all these decades later, very good memories of those salad days.
The police were a force of destruction and violence then, just as they are today
Lotta white folk.....
got there just before the cops sealed the road in.. my buddies came in over the fire roads from top of the world... remeber the "christmas cards"... there were a group of musicians jamming, and after the cops closed the roads, they were calling themselves the Laguna Islanders... remember Star got on stage asking for a chopper to take him to LA, and then getting a guy on a chopper to take him up to LA, to get the Grateful Dead to come down and play... ththe there was the guy that pulled upnear us in a dodge van, opened the doors, sat down in the van, and started rolling joints from a kilo. He'd then close up, walk through the crowd, and hand them out. He did it a couple of times until he was out of weed, then packed up and took off...
So he rolled 900 joints from a kilo? Not believable. Who were the bands if any?
who said anything about "900 joints"? not me... what I remember is in the post... @@davidjackson7281
When the #GreatAwakening arrives soon… I hope Laguna finds again it’s radical origins… we will need them!
Some friends and I left the Philadelphia area in December, 1970, for a trip to where we didn't know where. We ended up in CA and came upon this 'Happening'. We were there one night. It was magical. That's all I'll say here. Great memories. I now live in Laguna Beach for other reasons but what a coincidence that I was here in 1970 for a day.
Who were any of the muslc acts lf any?
@@davidjackson7281 Buddy Miles came and jammed with Jimmy Park's band. There were 3 other hot local bands that played, and some major names tried to come but the Laguna cops blockaded every road in & out of town and no one could drive in or bring their equipment, That's what happened.
l saw Buddy Miles September 1970 at Fillmore West (Carousel Ballroom). He actually closed for Fleetwood Mac and blew everyone away. A great and memorable performance. "Them Changes". Problems you described didn't happen in Norcal when Bill Graham produced a show or concert or festival or happening. Sorry for the snafus back then. l went to Altamont so l know of problems.
Nice!
Great video!
Crushed it, again. If ever there’s anything I can do to help keep the soul of Laguna true to its past while looking to its future, please reach out. I’m on the East Coast, but my heart is in Laguna. Love you all out there.
I am utterly enamored with this series. Each episode fills my heart with joy and unveils a new layer of beauty about Laguna beyond its pristine beaches. As a fervent photography enthusiast and graphic designer, my longing to relocate to Laguna grows stronger by the day, even if it means waiting until retirement age. Your channel has become a lifeline, sustaining my love for Laguna despite residing on the east coast. Thank you for keeping the flame of my passion for Laguna burning bright!
Hey @squarestanley! I love everything about this, thank you for sharing. Can you send me an email rachel@visitlagunabeach.com or share yours with me?
@@VisitLagunaBeach Absolutely! I will send an email sometime this evening. Please check spam if you don’t see it by 6:30 PM PST :)
Too close to Altamont... and without Bill Grahams word, nothing was going to happen.
lt was a year after Altamont which Graham had nothing to do with. l was there. Graham was the greatest promoter. Lots of other promoters could not come close to his professionalism. Funny how they tried to get the Dead (who FYl played at my high school in 1969) to play when the Dead had actually deserted Altamont. Was there any music at this fiasco?
@@davidjackson7281 Wounds were still deep a year later as law suits circled. Graham OWNED the west coast. He was great if he liked you. He treated a lot of bands like a douche as well. Look at what he did to Rush.
@@hazysativa3045Thanx hazysativa. So what was the aftermath of the aborted festival? Did you attend? Graham's two venues were the Fillmores in SF and NYC. Yes he monopolized booking in the Bay Area. We were able to book Mayall and Bloomfield only because he took a pass. But not vast SoCal. Correct me if l'm wrong but there must have been plenty of competing promoters in LA. Yes some bands did not like how they were treated but that was on them and their management for being unprofessional, not Graham. His concerts ran like clockwork and he made it look easy. Other promoters were not so good and came and went.
Bill Graham was a predator of the scene and was resisted as long as possible. Don't believe me, ask Chet Helms
@@Sawdust5764l can appreciate your opinion but the term predator seems to be at bit harsh don't you think? Tough competitor? Hell yeah! There were plenty of venues and bands for Chet Helms and other "promoters" to do business with but they weren't close to the professionalism and consistent reliability necessary that Graham provided for successful shows. Helms was a Texas hippie who seemed to fade away as the music scene exploded. Graham, regardless of his preceived faults (being human), was the unparalleled greatest of all time rock promoter. Period. What was a memorable concert for you?
Inspiring
Beautiful! These videos are so well done. My question: When will the beauty of Aliso Creek FINALLY open all the way to the ocean? How long should a golf course keep this path closed to the public?
rad, same day this year?
This was such a great episode! I knew about the walk, and the movement to save the canyon from the PR firm I was interning at, and I even have that poster! But I didn't know about The Tell or other small details. Thank you so much for sharing this history of our town. Keep Laguna Laguna!
Favorite beach in CA; thanks for helping to make it my kids’ favorite and their kids’ favorite too!
More Roots of laguna ❤❤❤

Shame it’s in lefty land - wouldn’t Goto California for free.
We rode plywood boards on the thin film of water left by waves on the sand in Virginia Beach back in the early sixties. The boards were appropriately called butt busters.
Blair is such a great ambassador for the sport , he genuinely cares about the groms and the future champs , like Kai. The best are Ben Gravy and Jamie O Brien , all these great contributors are so good with the youth and being that guy they watch and see every week enjoying their life and getting out , and their love for the ocean and sharing that with everyone .
Man, what a life well lived!!! I got my first Victoria board in 1979. There weren't many around up north. I was a huge red wood and glass model that had it's best days in overhead winter shorebreak at 4-mile, back when you could drive down to the sand almost. We made our own before that, but the "Red Vic" as my buddy called it got a lot of use, cause someone was always waiting to borrow it when I finally fried out. It was virtually indestructible and heavy as all hell. Nice trip down memory lane. I still follow skimboarding and modern skimming is amazing. We were getting barrelled and coming out by the 80's, but the bros (and girls!!!) now??? Incredible.
I was in wood shop In junior high in around '84 and Everybody whose mom would drive the forty five minutes to the beach was making a plywood skim board. I made a sweet war hammer. I love a lathe...
That board in the bottom right in 4:46 looks sick what kind is it?
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing my Dads journey in this sports story
This was amazing! Great job on this episode. I’m so stoked to have been a part of this. Can’t wait to film some more Skimboarding! 🤙🏼🤙🏼. Shout out to Tex Hains for helping get this sport off the ground for future generations to enjoy! Also Blair and Amber great job for elevating this sport with your professional talent, and all of the others involved in the Skimboarding Community. 👊🏼💥
SkidKids approve this message! Thank you for doing a fantastic job of showcasing our sport.
What an amazing piece of OC history!
This is epic!!!!
Love these trails and how you captured the history of MTB in Laguna. Love this town!
Awesome video! Keep kids riding in the dirt forever.
Great to see the history... sad many of the same prohibitor-types still exist for no good reason other than their selfishness and holier-than-thou attitudes.
Keep Laguna,….. Laguna!!! Have to protect our Radical Origins!
🤙🏼🤙🏼 great work.
Great video! Love the area and would love to visit again. See you on the trails @AdventureMuse
lots of mountain bike history came and still is coming out of Laguna 👍
