Greeno is the original surf photograher also the guy that invented modern surfing the 1st person to film inside a tube and should be in the surfing hall of fame...Nice work George
I had a good conversation with George one day.. just bumped into him and we just talked about things in general and photography using a motion picture camera…I spoke to his mother once.. she was a friend of a friend… George was in OZ by then… I told her what a legend George was… She appreciated that… Old SB… long gone now… too many Mutts..;
When I was a kid I met George in Del Mar I was walking to beach with my new G&S knee board I knew who he was from pictures in Surfer magazine. He was so cool. I was a little surf rat he wanted to check the board out I was so stoked!
George, nice to see "the Eater" again! Haven't seen it since you were building the Morning Star (wasn't it?) and showed Innermost Limits at Mikes house on a bedsheet.

I was excited when I saw the line up then one wave ride ,then back to driving old cars on the sand. Major let down. If u think were buying a movie from u because of this clip ur still stoned on pariquat
Money is not what George needs, he was born into it and spent it wisely on Freedom, freedom to surf for himself, when the waves are good he mostly set the camera down and rode every swell, for the past 60 years. It’s callrd being a legend. Doing it his way. He didn’t shoot film for you, he did it for himself and loved ones. Riding a wave is the joy, Filming it or watching it filmed it’s just a concept in your mind of reality. George lived mostly in reality, in the now. One that is almost impossible to find these days. Hero life.

Dear George, Thank You for showing us, different surf tools, and what it took to get there!😮

Long live the surfer spirit
That's Little Drakes. I got to talk to George there January 1970. He was filming "Innermost Limits". Absolute genius.
And Lennox Heads later.
Growing up, Greenough was a hero to me. I kneeboarded all over socal.
He was my inspiration as well.
Thank you, George. You are an epic inspiration to us all. Aloha.
Absolutely moving
I see the ocean as One of the last places to get away from the crowds.
-GG
That one didn't age well.
@@bradsillasen1972 in the60's and 70's in the south pacific as a surfer, he was probably right. Today doesnt apply 😂 its a kook zoo
@@jpmor7327 My point :)
I got to see him filming at the Ranch. 6'-8 and perfect. Little Drakes. A genius.
George was my hero for sure
old pics of Lennox Head - WOW
My hometown Lennox 2:14
1:02 Flippin' the Bird at Auggies
OG Greenough.
Good to see unspoiled Lennox before it was all screwed up with cycle paths, steel fences, overrun with joggers and planted out by dogooders.
As soon as the Llamas and Alpacas show up you know the area is fucked
George, nice to see "the Eater" again! Haven't seen it since you were building the Morning Star (wasn't it?) and showed Innermost Limits at Mikes house on a bedsheet.

Yep had the EH Holden like the video - couldn't kill it, terrible steering and braking but apart from that ALL GOOD.
