- We're stoked we found this incredible film in our archive. It has been buried far too long.
The United State Surfboard Championship was held July 31, 1976, in Hawaii. On July 23, TV 8’s sports director Hope Hines reported from Oceanside where five surfers who were going to compete in it, were training. Johnny Boyden was one of them and he told Hines the surf in Hawaii is the best in the world and the competitors were the best in the world-it was going to be a great contest. He was looking forward to testing out the board he made in the Hawaiian waters.
In addition to awesome surf film, our camera spotted a Barbie doll in King Kong’s hand-one of a few impressive sand sculptures...a mermaid, a telephone, and the Greek Parthenon. Big waves, children playing in the sand-a perfect Southern California day in the summer of ’76.
If anyone knows Johnny we would love to make him aware of this video. Please contact Barb Nielsen bnielsen@cbs8.com.

what a great time to be living in San Diego. I really miss it
Lived in Oside from 97 -2000. I absolutely loved it. When we first moved there people were like Oceanside ?? Saying it was a gang filled dump !! I didn't see that. I loved Oside !!!
not much has changed, snaking even in 76!
I grew up in Oside, I’m only 34 but I sure do miss the days before all the big condos took over the pier.
Born on Camp Pendleton, back in 1956 and grew up in Oceanside,went to Ditmar school and Jefferson junior high and Oceanside high. I spent a lot of time with my friends down by the pier and at Pacific Holiday Land looking for coins in the pinball machines. Sure miss those days Oceanside has changed forever.
His board design never caught on! I’ve never seen another like it!
I'm born n raised in Oceanside, I played little league with his brother Bobby Boyden...Bobby used to be one of the best skateboarders in CA. The Boydens owned the 1st surf shop at the Harbor, Mr. And Mrs Boyden are awesome people

Imagine handing one of these guys a board from today…
Anyone know what the holes in the board would do to performance? I’m assuming it would cause some drag

You mean Barbie's place in that little row of shacks? On the opposite side of the row, one from the end, was our garage where we made leather belts and also decoupage where we used the finest, piano resin. Ah, good times parting with the boys from Surfer Hill 🤙
I would have been a pro back then 😂
The boards sucked back then.
