Kevin Brennan was my cousin who I was told could do amazing things on a surf board. Tragically died to young
1967 was the year I started surfing, still having a crack and back on the same length boards as I started on.
Saw this movie when I was 18. Loved it. Had an 8 foot 6 Rick UFO stubby
I took off on first wave in 1966, I was 8 and I still remember how I moved foward on the board and the thrill of sliding down the face.
George Greenough riding a surf mat. In 1967 I was renting them at Huntington Pier and they were great to ride. They were inflated rock hard. Way more fun than a boogie board.
I wasn't there but had Paul on hand to give me the drum 15 yrs after it all went down, the best surf schooling one could ever hope for a young grom just finding my feet. This with Evolution & Sea of Joy I was in surf heaven.
I know this song due to the Japanese Band 54 Nude Honeys. I love their cover even more.
Excellent footage!
The Pandoras (all girl band from Southern California) did a cool cover version of "Hot Generation" and it was a staple in their live gigs as well as a much requested favorite on my old radio show in LA called Surfwave.
I was going comment on The Pandoras cover but you beat me to it by 10 years.
@@geokrpan7527 Perhaps, but you are way cool in my book just by knowing about The Pandoras. They were a totally unique band at the time and I was lucky enough to be good friends with the band. They used to come up and sit in on my surf music radio show back in the day and it was GUARANTEED to be a great time in the studio. Let's just say that there was never a dull moment when they would drop by for a late night visit! It was such a shame when the group leader, Paula, died of natural causes at such a young age. Every time I play, or hear, one of their songs, I immediately have a broad smile on my face remembering all those great times. I grew up following everything I could absorb about George Greenough. I still covet my El Paipo spoon with a Greenough Stage IV fin. The board handled wonderfully in the waves of the South Bay LA beaches -- and had the advantage of being able to still surf it once the "Black Ball" flag went up at the lifeguard stand sending all the stand up surfers out of the line up. This was way before Morey Boogie Boards. Sure, the locals would poke fun and call the mat riders and kneelos "speed bumps", but ours was the last laugh as we could still get great waves without the traffic of all the stand ups once they were chased out of the line up by the lifeguard. Thanks for the reply - I think I'll have to dig out one of my Pandoras albums for a spin tonight!
@@biggreenwave I absolutely adored The Pandoras. I first heard them on Rodney on the ROQ. I'd tape his show on a Hi Fi VCR. I loved the era of music he played. That era was just before my time. Nobody recreated the era better than The Pandoras. The Chesterfield Kings were great too. I bought their LPs at Tower on Sunset. I was shocked to hear of Paula's death and more recently Kim Shattuck. I found a vid on UA-cam of an event right after the death of Paula, audio only, with Rodney. What radio station was your surf music show on, KXLU? I used to listen to Alien Air Waves on KXLU, the radio station of my alma mater.. We have a lot on common. I was also a kneeboarder and Greenough fan. I surfed the gnarly waves of Newport. I rode longboards way before they became a thing again to beat the crowds. I'd buy them for nothing at garage sales and leave one in the bushes at Trestles so that I wouldn't have to carry it in. I've given up hope that there will ever be a large scale garage music revival. It's never going to be any more than a fringe thing for the fringe dwellers. The people that were old enough in the 60s to have experienced it are getting very old. Many, like me, experienced it second hand in the 80s, 40 years ago. There are young aficionados but there can't be many.
@@biggreenwave Are there any recordings of your show available
on YT??
the stop motion is great.
You really had to be there to understand. I was, and I was lucky. Grew up in the 60s and lived in the water....Avalon beach on Sydney's northern beaches....paradise and an outstanding life it was....Still is, but that's a different story!
@rhinohippo neither are sports nor can they be compared. both are amazing.
Surfing in the Hot Generation (especially Nat and Midget) is far better than in Evolution when they started riding those 8 foot V bottoms.
woah.. surf mat.
Last year of longboard surfing
Where the frick was Wayne Lynch??
just appreicate both no ones telling you to go longboard, better yet just stay on land
Kevin Brennan! FTW
All great Aussie surfers no doubt about it. However Australians Michael Peterson and Wayne Lynch were just incomparable water maestros from around that epoch.
They had that unique gift that placed them ahead of the pack. Of coure this is a personal opinion and others will no doubt argue otherwise.

@rhinohippo absolute nonsense. Shortboarding all the way, with style.
