Jock Sutherland Pipeline photo from the 70s

General Discussion
1

I was asked if I could obtain a magazine centrefold of Jock Sutherland from the 70s.  It was described to me as follows: ‘The Surfer magazine shot he’s trying to find is described as "The image is from
winter of 69-70, Jocko coming off the bottom of exceptionally large Pipeline
left on a narrow board with a red botttom. He’s wearing khaki trunks and almost
has his face in the water. The picture I am looking for was a centerfold, and
the issue date is close to March 1970’.

 

Ideally a copy of the centefold, but even the issue of the mag would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Bob

My mags are packed away but thought you might like this vid on Jock.

Best switch foot surfer of pretty much any era…

Probably a video shot of the ride you’re looking for in this.

Not the centerfold, but it sounds like the one you’re looking for.

I guess my buddy wasn’t lying when he offered to fly Jocko to the mainland to help me replace my roof. After seeing the video, I realized that I missed an opportunity to spend some time with a quality person.

Double-toasted, I mean posted.

Great guy.  Just met Jock a week ago as he was on the way to do a little roofing job for a neighbor.  We chatted a bit, I should probably have shut up and listened more than I did.  It’s not every day one meets one of the all-timers from back in the day.  

He did hit me up in a minor way to put in a ridge vent on the old hacienda, but I’ve been out of work for some months and its not a good time… Additionally it’s been nice and cool here lately.

Anyone need roof work, he’s in the phone book.

Cool video and still surfing and climbing/working on top of houses.  A good testament to living a healthy outdoor lifestyle.  Mike
