early surf culture -- "Riding Giants"

[haring]

Check out this trailer for Stacy Peralta's new docutmentary about the pioneers of surfing. Not wholly hot rod related, but there are some surf cars shown, and I'm sure some of you will appreciate the timewarp. Some nice title graphics and neat vintage movie clips.

Man, all my friends and myself would soak up every last bit of Skateboarder magazine back in the very late 70's into the 80's when it took a shit and Action Now took over. Oh well, there was a bunch of skaters here in Phoenix, what a fun time. I still ride them every once in a while, 39 yrs. old, no damn hair, I bet it's a sweet site.

Thanks for the post -- this one went to the top of my Netflix list. There's a DVD just out called Billabong Odyssey. No retro footage, but if you want to see a modern day big wave hunt with some unreal footage, check it out.
