An absolute classic from Bob Evans featuring three massive names from Australian surfing: Nat Young, George Greenough and Bob McTavish. We all know the stories from back in that time. Can you imagine discovering this place, sleeping under the surf club and surfing these beautiful waves every day? Feels like a dream today.

Blast from the past. My best friend was friends with Bob McTavish's sister when they were both at Teachers' College, Kedron or Kelvin Grove, Brisbane in 1966 or 67. I surfed with Geroge Greenough in Port Vila Vanuatu (the New Hebrides) around 1974 (I think) even thought I had no idea how famous George was.

Grew up in the sixties Golden age. What happened 😬

@@Paul-g9c6m CIA assassinated Harold Holt and started their stranglehold on Canberra, Globalization and Whitlam signed the Lima agreement thinking it as a good thing, maybe in theory.... CIA got rid of him when he wanted to keep big company profits in Oz, Blackrock formed in the 80's, monopolized the world with the banking cartels and there you have it, exactly what happened 🤣

Me too. Surfed with these guys at Rincon and La Conchita. Film maker had no idea of who George was obviously.

Lot of Portas in that area now, sadly its a area in Australia you see this, like the waves, and believe me there's a lot of them

Snazzy haircut George. Can I ask why we are only shown Nat on a kneeboard? And for the young ones, explain why these two, listening to George, changed surfing forever.

@surffilmarchive 5 дней назад

We think this footage nearly captures the exact moment!!

@Bikerman2022 4 дня назад

He is the real father of the short board. Don't forget his down rails, rocker and revolutionary fin designs

Nat is the first surfer featured on a long board mate

@pubgutt2076 6 дней назад

I first surfed A Bay Noosa in 1979, still surfing Noosa when I can, over the years, back in the day, during the weeks I've surfed Granite, Tea tree, Boiling Pot, National's, Johnson's over head, on my own off shore pumping no hustling back then 🏄‍♂️ Now the only problem is, the "younger want to be wave riders," need to learn & earn respect for their elders & them selves.
