After taking leftovers and jockeying for position all morning finally the crowd thinned out, the wind calmed and I was in the perfect spot. Da crew outside was sure I ate it on the take off and I almost did. But my trusty red foam stringered balsa responded and I made the wave. Video from Surfline. Thanks to Bucky Goo for the download. Original music by my son Jay and the Surf Chasers including...

972 As the G&S worldwide sales rep I was getting ready to make the initial sales trip back east. Tom Morey had taken a break from perfecting the Boogie Board to come in and do some designing. The video shows the G&S team test riding a group of Tom's prototypes. He stopped by my Mission Beach pad one Sunday afternoon and asked if I had a key to the factory. I did, so over we went. He said he had...

We were at Kaisers Beach getting ready to paddle out and who walks up but my old friend Reno Abellira. I hadn't seen him in a few years. And it was a great reunion talking about old times.

Lived in Cocoa Beach in the mid 1960's - loved it. I was there when Cocoa Beach High School was just built. Loved living there as a teenager. I had a Dewey Weber surfboard - have no idea where I got it because I was dirt poor... I don't want to speculate how I got it. But man oh man, I would love to relive those years.
Cool video! I lived across the street from Tom near the beach in Carlsbad, CA 1975-1976. Had many good conversations with him covering many different topics during that period. I was young guy in college at the time. He was a very intelligent guy and definitely a surf legend. I lost touch with him since then but was excited to find out he was going to be featured at the California Surf Museum Gala a few years ago and I purchased a ticket in hopes of seeing him again. Unfortunately, he passed away before the event, but I did have wonderful extended conversation with his son Sol.
...had my total respect 1974,half century later an elder in the sport of kings whose talent and sage wisdom my mind will never forget...
pretty darn Awesome ...Love it ...Thanks
That's were matt k got his style
Great job!
Double Hand Style 🫡
Nice shot of the piston at 8:38.
How come you didn't show. Bob McTavish and nat young, is that another film? JA
This song so nice
Those things were really hard to ride. I think I’m the regular foot in the red wettie.
I had one of Todd Hollands 6 foot six bright orange and yellow boards I broke it in half hurricane Hugo many moons ago loved that board . I took it to Black‘s Beach California too. Round 1987ish.
EPIC!
Wow! What an experience that must have been! Surf on! 🤙🏽
It was great to see this.. Pete.. are you wearing an old Madras Shirt that bled out maybe 5-6 years earlier,? WAZ Very Cool..
El gran Machuca! He will finally get an official recognition by the PR House of Representatives next week. All surfers are invited.
Always love your old videos. Thanks!
Curious if anyone has an idea of what board he’s riding? Maybe a “thin man” 9’ egg of his own making?
Read the description. I tell you what boards he was riding. He had his gym bag full of fins too.
Epic. Your a legend!🔥
I grew up close to the Point and would see Skip out there all the time. I used to come in just to watch him surf. 55 years later I still have specific images in my mind of him surfing one of his eggs on this one insanely great day at the Point when it was glassy and shoulder to a foot or so overhead. The place was packed but Skip could get every wave he wanted. P.S. Most if not all of these waves are of Skip surfing the cove and not the Point.
Nice style legends moments styos
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 GOOD memories. Thank you for sharing 👌 🏄

Great video Bill, thank you.
One of the very best compilations of the 60’s ever!!! The Golden Years of East Coast surfing… 🌊❤️🏄🏽♀️🏄🏽♂️
Precious times. I just love this. What song is this going with it?
This is original music. It's from the soundtrack for my surf movie: The Summer of '67. The DVD and soundtrack cd are available on my website. BalsaBill.com
THANK YOU TOM FOR GIVING ME AN OUTLET 🙏
Your an inspiration! Did you glassed the board or just applied some monocoat oil or something for sealant? Mahalo!
It's glassed. Just like a foam board.
You should have been here yesterday, you really missed it 🤣 thanks for posting 📫👍

Love these old videos. Thanks!
Very cool video Bill. I was around in those days and every day seemed to have something interesting and exciting going on. I can't remember everyone's name in the video but I did see Reed Mayne and I think his brother whos name escapes me now, Henry Hester, Bill Andrews, possibly Gary Keating and Tim Lynch. The Shores had an amazing pool of talent, much of San Diego did in fact. Thank you
Oh yes. I think I remember you from those days.
Excellent footage thanks for posting 📫👍
caught a seagull. ..Wow, saw a guy in Pensacola grab a ballyhoo in the line up
Bill, would you know who brought the film Free Ride over to the gulf coast to show in Destin and Pensacola?
Excellent thanks for posting 📫👍
Much Aloha for posting this! Makahiki Ho!
I remember coming up from Boca and surfing Cocoa Beach with some of these guys, all of them were good surfers and good guys. Gary Propper seemed under the impression that he owned the ocean and was a little full of himself, I hope he became humble as he matured, he was a fantastic surfer.
