--SNIP-- It's a little amateurish, eye-rollingly hokey, and yet irresistibly endearing in its aw-shucks wholesome sincerity. It's those qualities that have allowed the film to improbably endure as the most influential adventure sports documentary ever made, and warrant another limited theatrical run in a few dozen theaters nationwide to celebrate a half-century since it first screened.

Own it on DVD. One of my all time faves...especially good for summer parties ;)
Stand Up Paddleboard.
Just about every beach in HI has them.
Stand Up Paddle boards. Those guys can see a swell coming much sooner and paddle at three times the speed of a surfer. Plus they’re dangerous to anyone not on one themselves.
I don’t know, maybe for us older duffers it’d be just the thing.
It’s actually an excellent core workout. All ages are now SUP - on beaches, lakes, etc.
Cool. I need all the core I can get.
It may come down to alternately limiting use of popular breaks for surfers & SUPs. No one has exclusive rights, as much as we may want.
Kinda like the skiers and snowboarders, I guess.
Although there could be no greater sin than to suggest such a policy at any public hearing in Santa Cruz.
time slips away and leaves with nothin’ but...
I was driving a specimen pickup route for a medical lab in S.E. Washington D.C.. It was one of my summer jobs while in school.
Yeah, I was a hero in high school. Things kind of unraveled after that, but I’m back, a little older and wiser, but happy.
I was on my Matchless motorcycle traveling through Central America on down to Chile & back. Saw 16 people killed in Columbia, rode the Cable Aero over the Andes in Columbia.
Playing baseball and jacks, building tree houses and getting ready for 5th grade.
We used to take our kids to what we called Riversmouth, the beach east of the San Lorenzo River and on the other side of the point from the Boardwalk. Then for dinner, we'd go to Taco Bell and head over to Steamers, eat and watch the show. Later in the 90's my son and his buddies took up surfing all around there.
Getting married. We’ve had a great run. Hoping it can continue for a while.
Think I’ll watch it on Netflix tonight.
I was pooping my pants while my Dad was working for the Defense
Department making delivery devices for nukes in the cold war.
I was a 1 year old.
