me too, I was at loma del mar, when friends of the garsons threw this on. first time seeing bruce surf and first time hearing the song and thought to myself "slow mo cowboy surf ripping" alright I think just experienced something cool.
That one at the box was so gnarly and clean. I don't think Owen ever really got the credit he deserved as the ultimate ambassador. Just for his positivity if nothing else.
It's a very well done video but, it doesn't really go into depth of why.... Why the death of surf photography... It hasn't died, it has just changed from print to YT, IG free constant content....
It was my window into the world of surfing. I had to travel 2 hours with a train to buy the magazine because there was only one shop in Sweden selling it in the 90s. Back then it was around 28usd in todays money. Since then I travelled every winter searching for waves for over 25 years and now I work with photography. I owe alot of than you to all the surfmags. Thank you
In high school I used to take a 40 min bus to the mall and sit in one of the chairs in front of Hollister to read a couple of the Surfing and Surfer Magazines they'd put out front on the tables. You win 😂
Thanks for this! I still morn the death of the surf magazines. It was the thing I loved and looked forward to getting more than almost anything even food! LOL
Chris Burkard " changed" my view of surf photography....i got tired of the sharp 600mm photo.....now stepping back and showing the environment means more to me....more elements..."tiny surfer"...😂i prefer this...the landscape surf pics ....💥
This was so well done. Often times declaring the death of something from the past can be perceived as just being nostalgic with whatever the subject is. In the case of photography, I do believe there is a strong case to declare that prior to mobile phones and social media, photography was one our most powerful ways to convey meaning and purpose. This is a profound loss in terms of our ability to cherish and appreciate. 2 qualities that are important with humanities ability to have compassion and imagination.
One of the best edits I ve ever seen. There is something beautiful about this unique style of bruce irons and this melancholic song in the backgroud. Masterpiece
I remember the inlet one morning, out all alone, about 4 to 5 ft glass. About 50 ft away, a huge 10ft wingspan manta ray jumped clear out of the water. I was like, "cool", and caught a wave. They don't hurt surfers. Another morning, not at the inlet this time, but close to my apt at Crawford Rd. About 4ft glass(mornings are glass)about 5 or 6 miles out the biggest fish I ever saw jumped clear out of the water and his head went over the horizon. Probably a Mako. Then there was jellyfish season, where they were everywhere, sliding down your back, hitting us in the face. My friend scooped one out and wore it for a hat. I was like, naw, you go ahead... Schools of mullet too, paddling out and grabbing mullet with your hand..this was 1974AD. The apt is still there at Crawford and Atlantic, and so are the bikinis.. probably the O-villes too who used to swamp the bch...
It is funny how sharks are just normal here in nsb I'm 40 and I did get a little hazing by the older good surfers nsb was so much of a smaller town never left the house. Without seeing Some one you know times are changing still love this place hoping Greg to shape me a new one soon rip Duffy
Sounds like we need these kind of vibes in the surf down in south florida. A lot of angry and aggressive surfers taking the fun away from it all. Maybe because we can go many months without waves.
