Clip from Free and Easy by Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman where David Nuuhiwa is introduced to Pipeline. Also featuring great rides by Jock Sutherland and Greg Noll.
Phew, those off season late spring days are some of the best...so cool to be home fo get um.... especially w your brothers. Fam just owning it, only coming out of the water to get food and change broken boards 🤙🏼
I met Jock Sutherland when he was stationed at Fort Ord, CA Some days, I would pick him up and drive him around the Monterey and Carmel Peninsula to find some waves. One place was the Pacific Grove pier, a rocky area, point break and on a big day a steep drop. One day while surfing Carmel Beach, David Nuuhiwa showed up and started surfing with Jock. I still have many pictures of David looked into the glassy tubes. Such a perfect day.
This was great. I was just just starting to surf in 65. Funny thing is David N ended up being the bad boy and Jock was the straight guy who took 1st in Rincon. Great post
This video is probably in the early 70's. David Nuuhiwa didn't show up on the surfing scene until after The Endless Summer and a couple of other classics. He quickly became the noseriding king. This commentary sounded exactly like Bruce Brown.
Que maravilha e os comentaristas todos havainos local amigos dos cara . Tudo brother tipo Batman e Robin! !HAHAHAHAHA . Até Pipeline era pequeno estava crescendo ainda . Valeu 👍✌Tmj 👊na próxima trip!!!!! Aloha 🌺🏄
Not sure of the year, I was at my cousin’s house on the beach at Newport Beach, helping clean their garage. A van pulls up next door and David Nuuhiwa starts unloading his surfboards with the eagle symbol. I was like oh crap, but didn’t want to bother him. It was kinda cool for a gremmie.
When the long boards were snapping back then, that was God/nature hinting, trim down ya logs lads, you'll surf much easier, faster, looser, tighter & higher 🏄♂️🏄♀️
