and i think they used real WOOD boards -i dont know why there has to be aggression towards other surfers everyone is just trying to catch that wave-leave your ego on shore and help each other get better
These guys had huge balls, healthy lungs and leg ropes weren't around. Kudos to those guys and the amazing laid-back times they savoured in and out of the water.
Pioneers making the board do what it didn't want to do, a lot harder than it looks. Board designers took decades to catch up. Amazing conditions for Sunset beach, Pipe, and Waimea. These are all famous surfers of the times. Classic.
What a treat to see Dora and Noll on the same wave. I’ve always thought that it irritated Miki Dora that you can’t hot dog a North Shore wave. Cramped his style.
Fantastic film, and seems so real, these men were athletes, just to paddle out would be enough, then to have the energy and skill to surf these huge waves is insane, but what a buzz it must have been, and what innovation they have brought, listen to this with headphones on and you feel you are there👌👍
Back then the sharks had plenty to eat too. So they didn't bother us as much. As Laird Hamilton said,people back then weren't as homogenised as today, so you could really be yourself and have fun, even leave your car unlocked! Notice how no-one gets to upset about people dropping in.
Wasn't sure if that was Hynson or Edwards. They both had three stringer signature models but that board looked like it had a 1" balsa stringer so before that era. No mistaking Noll and Dora.
What is sooo obvious in these surfers- Then was that these people ALL "look like" they're in great shape- No 'fatties' back then! Ohhh America How you have Fallen as you been lied to from The Top Down!!!!!!!
Unless you've actually ridden those old boards in surf that size, you have no idea of the tremendous skill you're looking at.
True pioneers. Fearless. No leashes, no jet ski to bail you out. Legends.

Look at 'em, just living in the moment
If only we could go back in time
😍🌊🏄♀️🏄🏻❤️
Cowabunga - They we’re shooting the curl and hanging five while the Wahines watched from the shore in their Woodies.
Crazy man!
Seen a few Moondoggie movies?

Greg Noll's there too...RIP..
Great footage. Terrific surfing of Micky Dora and other great surfers of the era.
LOL fewer and fewer guys left that would recognize Mickey. I'm pretty sure one of the others is Greg Noll
Surfing 🏄♂️was way cooler back in the 60s
Absolutely!
CARAGUATATUBA SP 🇧🇷 ASSISTINDO. SENSACIONAL
Please please bring me back.!!
Great Dora footage. Gotta love those trunks
Miki Dora was known as "The King of Malibu" and Southern California Surfing Legend.
Also known as "The Black Prince of Malibu."
No lease seems unimaginable
2:02 Greg Noll and Miki Dora at Sunset? 👏👏👍👍🤙🤙😎😎🌊🌊🙌🙌
I wonder how many of these dudes were actually goofy footed and just didn’t know
I love good surfing, greetings from Peru. aloha!

These guys led the way. Htrue watermen. Alot of Dora in this. He did much more than surf Malibu!
love it
🤙❤️🤙
For a guy who hated being dropped in on at knee-high Malibu, Dora sure is doing it a lot here in overhead Waimea, for example, on Greg Noll 02:03.
Remember it was ok for Mikey to drop in on anyone but a problem if it was done to DA KAT
so cool!
I think I recognize Rick Grigg and Mike Hynson as well as Dora and Noll.

taken from the movie "Ride the Wild Surf"...
If there were only longboards nobody would get pissed if you got dropped in on . 😅
COWABUNGA GREMMIES😎
The music was more better too
Anyone know what kind of camera this would have been filmed with?
8mm
Based on the clarity and use of zooms I'd be inclined to say a 16mm Bolex with the 3 rotating lenses.
16mm
A lot of this is from the movie Ride The Wild Surf and probably the out takes as well so my guess would be a cinema grade move camera like Panaflex.
Wrong! Surfing is still the best ! Catch a wave and your sitten on top of the world
