Wow - what an amazing piece of history - amazing to see how surfing has moved on ;)

That’s a great watch , cheers for the tip off.

Love the wetsuits and the women’s hairstyles !

I know the narrator Ted Deerhurst is English but I could swear he sounds like a NZ er, ha.

What a trip down memory lane.

Great shame about Ted Deerhurst, the surfing peerage, a very unusual man.  I remember him as he was at the events down in France - he is no longer with us, by his own hand I heard.
