All the talk about 'total involvement' and revolutionary surfing of some Aussies in the mid to late '60's could equally apply to Phil in the late '50's.
Phil Edwards being the best surfer in the world at the time the bath Ruth of surfing I wish someone would post the video of him surfing pipeline back in the day.

riding my 1965 hobie 9'7 Phil Edwards is like driving not a cadillac but a rolls royce
When I started surfing he was the GOAT.
the Gold Standard...
Hi Mike we worked together at Breakers Seaood, I was 19 yrs. Old. Do you remember me? I'm now 58.
The first surfer to surf Pipeline, that´s better than be a world champion!
Seems like quite a few have claimed that.
So true brah!!!
@@SoulDaddy33Yeah, Butch Van Artsdalen also claimed to be the first

Watch and learn kiddies,this is how it is done with style and class !
My surfing hero
Artist of the waves
style master surpreme.
Dang. That board is so steady it’s like a concrete block.
turning a 60lb board around like a potato chip and making it look easy, That's Talent!!
Not 60, closer to 40 pounds max, but still heavy.
From "Surfing hollow Days" by Bruce Browne
PhiL named that board " Baby " . . .SoLid BaLsa !
He's the best
BRAVO BEST VIDEO ON UA-cam!!!!
The Professor of Style! Pay attention all you nubiles & get a clue.
Surfocker,1 of your Phil Edwards videos includes the music La bamba, where is it 🤔?
Can someone please post the footage of the first time pipeline was riding by him.
It's here at 7:45
The "Tamarack Kid"!
AKA the Guayule Kid ... same place, though.
que gas
Looks like a balsa board he's riding too.
What's the song that starts at 3:01?
mag wheels
Can anyone tell me where he rode these waves?
Ma'ili, West side
Phil Edwards Turns .... Christian Fletcher Airs thats it.
better style than Dora in my opinion
PHIL WAS MORE ...STYLES ...AND A BETTER A ALL SURFER.....1960 ...TO 1970........CLASSIC.. LOG..BOARD .....RIPPING WITH STYLE!!!!
Even his backside was timeless
His backside cutback at 4:01 is just pure class and power
Even less wasted motion than Dora???
Had a boat in dana point on the same dock as Phil he's not a friendly guy at all
Really? Him and his wife walk down my street everyday and they always say hi and are willing to chat any time. He's a really pleasant man.
I've always loved Phil Edward's style. But he admitted that he copied Dora.
Osides favorite son. Ya know, I can't remember seeing Miki going backside much. How was his drop knee? Let me know!
What's the song that starts at 3:31?
