11 years later (1987 - 1990), I had the pleasure of riding the waves at Onslow Beach and just about every surf spot between the Outer Banks and Wrightsville Beach. Spring, summer, fall, winter, didn't matter as long as the waves were on. Thanks for the video my friend, good stuff indeed! 👍 👍
I also appreciate what Larry says about staying low through the carve, and then unweighting and weighting. I use the same principles now, but I now have a kite that can unweight me when I follow through on a carve. Mind you, I do these maneuvers on flat water with no waves.... and zero crowd factor. Total surfing bliss.
What a great interview. Thanks for posting! I was surfing big waves back in those days. Sunset, Pipe, Laniakea, Portlock Point, when town was closed out. Rabbit Island. I completely agree with Larry's philosophy. I now have developed my own style of kiteboarding, and my own boards and gear for that style - its like surfing double overhead Sunset with never a crowd. I don't jump or do trix. I just "power-loop & caaarve." I'm now 67, and still getting the same rush.
@@theSupertonesurfare you sure? This is shinG dig and not “shin dig” by the shadows. This is a totally different song, boss? What is it? I can’t put my finger on it, but if I just had to guess it sounds like San Francisco around 1967? Or, Maybe it’s a ventures tune ? Or, one of yours?👀. Whatever it is it’s a MONSTER rocker and I haven’t heard it anywhere else.
@@theSupertonesurf well, this tune is a little masterpiece, imo. Surprised there is almost no info available on it. No live renditions or covers. Anyway, it seems that Tim and supertones should have more recognition. I always go to the supertones when I want that classic surf sound, but want to find something different. Supertones deliver. Is there a list of songs that Tim wrote? Thank you…
@@antithesespistopheles8112 Thank you, yes that was a song I wrote and I played all the instruments on it, it was meant for a movie soundtrack about the surfer Miki Dora so the band never got to play it live, I used a Fender Bass VI on it, and it was used in the movie about surfboard shapers called the boardroom.. it's my favorite song that I written.. you can check out all my original song at thesupertones1.bandcamp.com as well and all of our other albums that we have recorded Cheers and Thank You.....🙏
Walt Phillips the producer and director of this film was a friend of mine. Unfortunately all that's left of his films are CDs that were poorly scanned from copies on videotape in the late 1980s. His original prints were all destroyed in the Malibu fire a few years ago they were at the home of Challengers guitarist Randy Nuert preparing to be digitally scanned when Randy's home Burned. So all there is of Walt Phillips film legacy of the late 50s and early 1960s are these old video copies. Walt has passed on someone needs to make it their project to attempt to restore Walt's films from the CD tape copies.
Cowabunga-What-Excitement!!! Many thanks for this fun & historical film. May the Kahunas bless you. Wishing good fortune to you and your dear ones. Peace.
