classic
“Nobody listens to Turtle”
...haole...

“Wh—aaat he only has one board!!!”
‘You J - O - J brah’
some guy in another thread
cited “Ride the Wild Surf”
and now we have aaah what?
is this quote from some legendary archive?
like the smithsonian?Surfing heritage Moose Lodge?
Pray and prithy is ou’ roots decended to this?
the ground water is saturated with the haole wood
rendition of our once noble culture?
SPICOLI DIDN"T SURF…
lets all watch surfing hollow days
with children,or jim freeman’s epic
let there be surf where rodger meinendenger rides mitchels cove in a stretched cheater five
slow motion for the first shot to screams of the whole auditorium at ap gianini junior highschool
on ortega.
where the mojas Vw bug was parked on the corner with the smoke stack poping out through the roof…(yes he only had one board and it weighd 45lbs because in the Islands thet year they were pigmentin’ em so they could take the drop on hevy offshore winds…
north shore wasn’t
and neither was ride the wild surf.
the archive is unfortunatly
poluted ground water…
now there is fred windisch and the ''Natural art"…
thats pure underground spring water…

putting a note in your file
that you have not memorized
all dialogue from hollywood surf movies
and your diploma will be contingent
on completing the hollywood movie requirement.
LECTURE FROM SUNDAY APRIL 30
Gidget being the primary expolitation MOVIE
thet opened the collective eyes of the world
to surfing followed by beach party movies
then again the ride the wild surf with rock stars
and pop actors playing the lead roles
fabian was the rock star,tab hunter,
shelly fabares and barbara eden
that was RIDE THE WILD SURF
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_the_Wild_Surf
spikoli character from fast times at ridgemont high.
sean pen was spikoli
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Times_at_Ridgemont_High
north shore,point break… all thesemovies were
iconiified by the masses and marginalized by the
truely surfing hip elite.
Respected surfers do stunt double work for all roles
where closeups were spliced in with
real long shots of contemporary surfing.
every body saw em,the seconds long surfing
was of higest caliber film work.
it was cool to call bull on em
and mock friends saying they were trying to look
like fabian surfing simulations.
Real surf movies of the time were
shown in junior high auditoriums and
down south bigger auditoriums till
the rowdy surfers got em kicked out.
the films weregrainy and funky
thats what made them the real thing
.The sound tracks were on reel to reel tape
and the naration was scripted by the film maker
and read or recited from memory live.
The imprinted hit pop tunes like topsy part two
set to scenes of waimea bay huge waves
and thedick dale surf music were the seeds of the
subculture spread that led the hollywood film industry
to try to capture a little $ flow from the enthusiastic.
Not til Bruce Brown’s endless summer did the surf movie
go big screen syndication nation and world wide.
Now it is common like here with hurricanes
determining the marks on the timeline.
With ‘‘I started surfing’’ It is often marked with
BIG MOVIES and again the elite surf community
can easily dis those who are initiates of a given
movie influence by saying they started surfing
well before gidget or big wednesday or
point break or spikoli or blue crush or
soul surfer or in gods hands or
that james bond tow-in sequence
with five guys in swat gear
dropping in on a massive wave…
the stunt double fame is a two sided
blade,the notoriety also was/is dissed
for compromising the spirit of the act of surfing
for self agrandisment or monetary gain.

Is herb giving out rings?
herb make mine gold.
I’ve been riding this merry-go round
long enough I just can never remember
to reach out and grab one… for a free ride.
Thanks Brose
After a few posts emerged ,,I caught on,, albet a bit slow ,,,
I watched Ride the wild surf the other day,,, cheezy . But I remember when I was a kid I thought it was a cool flick
Im not good at remembering movie lines, but I do have a few,,,,,
"Do the Damn thing!" Blue crush
"Thats the Lemon net to the pie" Big wednsday
" Never thought Ol Waxer would end up in the bone yard" Big wednsday
the three friends theme in Big Wednsday with Bear as the mentor has a story line that hits home with me.
like when Matt is a drunk and wanting to quit the contest sciene, and the Bear reminds him of the kids that look up to him whether he likes it or not,, good stuff.
or when Barlow returns from Nam and Peggy wells up at his apperance on the beach, make me well up
and of course the masocist situation in the AFEES building,,,, "Are you pickin on me?" halarious
"Hey Vince, He so Haole, he don't even know he Haole".
"Topsy Part II" , Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel, and Cozy Cole. A -numbah one. The onliest kine.
“You take hees stuff? You poun’ 'em” My favorite line.
Re: Ride the Wild Surf… I’ll take Susan Hart over Fabares and Eden, thanks.
And, little did we know, back then, that one of the lead actors was a total closet job.
“Twinny!? - No one rides twin fins in Hawaii!”
“He must still think his on the mainland or something”
“Ill be alright”
“Ha check out where his paddling out”
“you have a single fin mentality”
ha ha ha
“Chandler you still have a single-fin mentality”
ha ha ha
“Re: Ride the Wild Surf… I’ll take Susan Hart over Fabares and Eden, thanks.”
Back in the day I’d take the Calhouns over any of the Hollywood starlets.
Robin, Candy, and Marge were all quite stunning specimens.
Big Wednesday, the ''...piss in the steam iron'' story, is in fact, true. From a time when the art of the RF was in full swing. Bull fighting cars? Sadly, been there, done that. I'm sure I was not the only one. Seemed a good idea, at the time. Now, not so much.
When the wave breaks here - don’t be there… or you’re gonna get drilled
