Well seems as if Youtube has taken my channel down for the 5th time. So this forces me to actually start making some new posts on this blog, which i needed to do any way.  Today i will do a test with a video that is hosted on Vimeo.  This is the beginning of a show from 1963..

RIDING THE CREST... 1939 all surfing film shot in Hawaii at Waikiki .. one of the best early surfing short films.. lots of classic boards, famous people. and vintage shots you have seen used in my films when they talk about this era. Transferred from 16mm

LURE OF THE SURF... 1930's Bondi Beach in Australia has always been a big surf beach.. This is where the Life Saving Carnival is each year.. this film shows all the activities there. surfing, wave ski surfing, dory races and wipeouts in big surf.. Also shows guys building hollow surfboards on the beach. This is the beach where they filmed the film below SERVICE IN THE SUN..Transferred from 16mm

SERVICE IN THE SUN...1957 Now here is a film you won't find anywhere else... If you know your surf history, you will have heard of this film.. Greg Noll and a few surfers went to Australia for an event and brought with them the first Malibu Surfboards the Aussies had ever seen, they were still riding long hollow finless boards. After seeing the new boards and how they turned well that was the start of real Surfing over there, This film has early Greg Noll and others showing the Aussies how it's done.. and even has color footage of Duke Kahanamoku there with the first board he built while on a visit there 40 years earlier..

JAN AND DEAN's "SURF SCENE" TV PILOT... 1963 Filmed by veteran surf filmer Dale Davis... This pilot was never bought due to Jan and Dean being caught up in the Sinatra kidnapping case.. there is lots of surfing and early music videos with Jan and Dean doing their songs.. Not sold anywhere else.. i made this from one of the only surviving 16mm of the show

A STUDY IN WET...1964 One of the many and probably the best known of Homer Groenings short surf films, since it won many awards.. Homer is the father of Matt Groening who created the Simpsons.. This film is very psychedelic with a sound track made from water dripping.. lots of colors, big wave surfing, girls etc..

BLUE SURF-ARI... 1967 (Professional surfing film trying to follow the ENDLESS SUMMER'S success but shown unsuccessfully and put away and never released on video or dvd) Has Greg Noll,Skateboarding Dale Velzy at his Surf shop,Bikini contest, Huntington Beach Surf Championships.

THE MIST OF SUMMER... 1977 (Infinity Surfboard team in Mexico. They were sneaking down to Mexico and surfing secret spots that not many knew about..They put Puerto Escondito on the map) great original music soundtrack, A little known lost Surfing Gem.. I own a copy of this film, Some of the footage was later sold to make the film SEAFLIGHT in 1980

OLD SCHOOL SKATE JAM 2... 2002.. a one and half hour long unedited video of the Legends ofSkateboarding Party held at the SKATELAB skatepark in Simi Valley, CA.. This was an invite only party of everyone who was anyone in the skateboarding world as far back as the 1960's.. Before the Movie DOGTOWN and before all this interest in the skateboarders of the '70's and the history,, they had the OSSJ 1 party.. word got out that it was cool event so they threw another, This one i took 2 friends with video cameras and filmed everything.. Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta. Read more about it atwww.oldschoolskatejam.com

GO FOR IT... 1976 (Well Known Surfing/Skateboarding film by Hal Jepsen and Wilt "THE STILT" Chamberlain) released on VHS in the mid 80's (it was already outdated by then), no longer available and never released on DVD.. great surfing with Larry Bertleman skating with Tony Alva and great coverage of the Ventura, Ca 1975 skateboard championships (Peter Fonda is one of the spectators) Now go rent EASY RIDER.... Born to be Wild.. :) another must have film

FREEWHEELIN'... 1976 Original version shown in theatres. this version is not as good a quality as the one released on video but is a half an hour longer and contains the deleted Russ Howell part..has a different Title logo in the beginning. VERY RARE

SKATEBOARDING IN THE EIGHTIES... 1982 The Very First SKATEBOARD VIDEO! Stacy Peralta after teaming up with George Powell to form Powell/Peralta made this short video to promote his team riders and skateboarding at a time when Skateboarding was dead.. Stacy used footage of Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Mike McGill and the gang skating Del Mar Skate Ranch and Classic footage of a flawless freestyle routine by Rodney Mullen.... the video was given to Skateboard Shops to help sales.. at this time there were no other skateboarding films on video..None of the '70's skateboading films had been put to video yet.. and a VHS or BETA video in 1982 sold for $75! so very few could afford them.

BEST OF THE BIKINI BEAUTIES... 1982 Filmed at the 1982 OP PRO, Lots of hot early 80's girls (real tits!), Huge crowds, Some surfing clips, Very very hard to find video, out of print

SURFING BEACH PARTY (JAN AND DEAN)... 1983 Early Home Entertainment video by Jan & Dean. Super Goofy with Jan & Dean sitting around with a bunch of white ugly girls and guys on the beach drinking Budweiser, they talk about the 60's, they mention one of their hits songs and then it goes into either some classic old footage or some new music video with some '50's looking greasers in leather jackets singing their songs and dancing.. It's actually a really funny looked back at the '60's surfing decade in the early '80's.. One good thing is there is a lot of old surfing footage from Dale Davis and Hal Jepsen, Footage from Hal's SKATEBOARD MADNESS film during the song SIDEWALK SURFIN'.. and they used plenty of never before seen footage from the 1963 Jan & Deans Unreleased Pilot tv show called SURF SCENE..

EXPO was the last Worlds Fair held in North America, and the theme was "World in Motion", the NSA put on a big skateboarding contest with Vert, Slalom, Freestyle, 360's, Bowl Riding etc. probably the last great skateboarding contest to feature all the events at one time, Rodney Mullen wins Freestyle, Steve Cab wins Bowl Riding, Tony Hawk wins Vert..Jeff Phillips is there,Claus Grabbke and every star of the day, lots of crowd shots..The biggest skate contest to be put on film during that time.

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?...1988 Another straight to video sports film, Many newly started video companies of the '80's would whip out videos with different subjects to make a quick buck.. This videos seems to be just a collection of clips they bought from many photographers, pretty much has everything, Surfing, Sky diving, Hang Gliding etc. the quality is really poor and footage is all from the 1970's and the only reason you would want this film is because it has never before seen SKATEBOARDING footage from the mid 70's, Russ Howell, Stacy Perata, Tony Alva etc.. lots of left over clips that were not used in any of the '70's films.. long out of print and never on dvd

AXE RATED... 1988 Very Rare Powell/Perata skateboard video, given away at the ASR tradeshow and never sold to the public..

Death From Above.. ..Classic '80's beach film

SHREDDER ORPHEUS... 1990 Cult Classic! So Bad it's Good. Funny i'd never heard of this film while it was being made and i think it went straight to video. Here is what is written on the back of the Video.."The "Mortal" world faces imminent destruction when "Hades" unleashes an evil television signal that corrupts and kills it's viewers, These hypnotic broadcasts from the Devil's "EUTHANASIA NETWORK" are welcomed by the masses-except rock-star "Orpheus" and his band of "SHREDDERS" who can see through this unholy scheme. To save the world and rescue his kidnapped wife, Orpheus must penetrate the underworld of Hell and free the television airwaves. Armed with a futuristic guitar and a SKATEBOARDfrom Hell, Orpheus enters a secret passage-way and makes his way onto the live broadcast stage.. Ohh man is this movie bad! hard to find and out of print

THOMAS EDISON'S HAWAII... 1906 The first footage of Surfing on movie film.. shot by Thomas' Cameraman Robert Bonine.. Very Historical footage..

MYSTERY OF THE LEAPING FISH... 1916 Silent movie.. starring Douglas Fairbanks.. about a detective named COKE ENNYDAY.. who sets out to bust an opium smuggling ring.. COKE himself is a dope fiend, He injects himself constantly with one of the syringes he wears in a holster across his chest like a mexican bandit, Snorts cocaine to get insight as what his next move is. he eats opium. He has a clock in his office that says DOPE FOOD DRINK SLEEP.. This is not a Surfing film but more so has to be the very first film about smuggling and the beach lifestyle, since the way the Chinese Laundry owners (named SUM HOP, and Hop meaning HOPPED UP or DRUGS) who are the ones bringing in the opium, smuggle the dope from boats off shore, is the dope is hidden on the bouy off shore and the beach shop that rents these big Weird looking inflatable fish, sort of like a kids blow up pool toy..well, they rent the fish, paddle out to the bouy and stuff the opium into the fish and paddle back to shore.. Like i said there are no surfboards but there are people lying on their stomachs surfing in on these big goofy fish and for a split second COKE tries to stand up on one.. This movie could easily have taken place in the '70's with a surf shop and surfboards... it has got to be one of the strangest films ever made..

CROSSROADS OF THE PACIFIC "A HAWAIIAN CRUISE"...1930's Rare Military short film on the US Navy stopping over in Hawaii. Giant Battleships sail into Hawaii and the crew gets shore leave, Watch sailors dancing with Hula Dancers, cruising around town, riding outriggers, and even surfing in their uniforms! Now you can see why we fell in love with the lifestyle, these are the guys who came back and opened up Tiki Bars and caught the surfing bug. Filmed before the attack on Pearl Harbor

SURFING (COLOR HOME MOVIES) SAN ONOFRE, MALIBU, VENTURA OVERHEAD, RINCON...1947 Amazing color silent home movies of surfing,,great quality with a very still camera, even some water shots...and you see SURFING PIONEER BOB SIMMONS driving his jalopy with boards on top, stopping to surf VENTURA OVERHEAD..

BIG WEDNESDAY...1961 John Severson's classic Surf Film. No soundtrack exists for this film. So put on what ever Music you want..This is one of John's Best films.. and the poster art for this film is Classic too..Of course the 70's Big Wednesday film was named after his one.. Extremely Rare.. you won't find it anywhere else..

THE ANGRY SEA...1963 Another Rare John Severson film.. it's in color and has sound but for some reason, this is only the first half of the film.. it ends after an Intermission. still very very cool to watch... You won't find this film anywhere else either.

UNITED STATES SURFBOARD CHAMPIONSHIPS (HUNTINGTON BEACH)...1964 This was a film made by the City of Huntington Beach to document the 6th Annual US Surfboard Championships. Kind of a cheesy look at a surf contest, seems like the guys who put it together weren't really surf photographers, but a great VERY RARE film, Has Duke Kahanamoku giving his award to Mike Doyle, Corky Carrol is there etc.. Compare this look at a surf contest to the DUKE contest which was filmed in 1966, what leap in style and quality. Footage from this film was shown during the 1984 OP PRO tv broadcast when they were showing footage of a surf contest from the 1960's

LOCKED IN... 1964 Bud Browne. One of Bud's many famous surf films, Bud released a few of his films in the 1990's on vhs.. BUT he changed the Music and redid the Narration soundtrack and changed a few things in the film! This Version of LOCKED IN is the ORIGINAL version. If you watch the films back to back you can hear how much younger he sounds in this one.. This version has Hawaiian Music, The Trashmen and other surf bands of the day... Not sold anywhere else.. and very hard to find this version..TOOO COOOOL! and SOOO RARE

WILD SURF...1960-65 A very Rare GRANT ROHLOFF short film.. footage shot between 1960 to '65. but not edited together until 1975.. There are no Full Length Grant Rohloff films left! He butchered them each year cutting and splicing to make new ones.. Dennis Dragon (Surf Punks) and his brother Darryl did the sound track for this film and it's really trippy, you can hear influences from many other songs, a very different soundtrack compared to any other surf film.. Dennis told me that he worked with Grant Rohloff on lots of little short surf films.. all of which are no where to be found except for this one and one called WET AND WILD which i have on 16mm and haven't transfered to dvd yet.. A really Neato film

GRANT ROHLOFF Film Clips from the 50's-60's... Stock Footage reel put together by Grant's son Chris.. very cool surfing clips not seen anywhere else put to killer music.. Some of the only footage from his full length films, (not one full length film exists in whole).. Chris uses this reel to sell clips to other film makers, Stacy Peralta used some of this for his Dogtown and Z-Boys documentary.

STOP THE WAVE...I WANT TO GET OFF!... 1965 Long lost surf film, just discovered a few years ago. Very hard to find. Not professionally released.. Great surfing in Hawaii, Calif. great narration and great music of the time. Funny Skits, skimboarding, and has John Severson, Corky Carrol and Mickey Munoz slalom skateboarding around soup cans. Great quality and Super Cool Film

HISTORY OF SURFING... 1965 A great look at the history of surfing during it's heyday, Eddie Albert who was starring on the tv show GREEN ACRES at the time is the narrator, Cool film that talks about all aspects of the sport, saying it is the most exploited sport at the moment with all the Beach Blanket movies, Surf Bands, tv commercials etc..... The film was made by TOM WOLF films.. was this the Tom Wolf who wrote the PUMP HOUSE GANG a few years later?

SKATER DATER... 1965, This is the 2nd film on and about skateboarders. (The 1st was a short film by Bruce Brown called AMERICA's NEWEST SPORT) . SKATER DATER is sort of coming of age story about a gang/club of skateboarders skating around until one of the kids starts getting interested in a girl.. it's the club or the girl, they have a skate duel to see who the leader is.. this film stars Hobie and Makaha '60's skateboard team riders. Great music and barefoot skateboarding, the film was nominated for an Emmy and was seen in every school for years and could be borrowed from your local library, There was even a soundtrack album for the film, music by Mike Curb who later ran for Governor of Calif. in 1982.. If you skated in the '70's you probably saw this film somewhere.. A MUST HAVE!

ABC WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS SKATEBOARD CHAMPIONSHIPS...1965, The first ever Nationally televised SKATEBOARD contest. This is the best copy floating around... A MUST HAVE!!

THE DEVIL'S TOY... 1966, a Spoof on the idea that Skateboarding is so dangerous that Canada is trying to ban skateboarding in the streets, Cops take away skateboards and give them back only when they agree to skate in an indoor skating rink.. The film is shot like a documentary and made to look real..Great '60's film, kids skating in trenchcoats, references to Jan & Dean, gangs of skateboarders having to run everytime the cops show up.. Really Really a Classic Lost film.. never released on VHS or DVD.. This is an early film by a well know director who years later developed alzhimers and went missing one day only to be found dead in a lake in 1984.. A MUST HAVE, Always voted the Coolest '60's skateboard film and very hard to find.. most copies sold were copied from mine

ABC WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS tv broadcast...1965 The 1st Annual DUKE KAHANAMOKU INVITATIONAL SURFING

CHAMPIONSHIPS... as seen on ABC Sports.. this is in CoLoR! and i have the CBS broadcast of the contest too..

CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR tv broadcast... 1965 1st Annual DUKE KAHANAMOKU INVITATIONAL SURFING

CHAMPIONSHIPS...This was the first surfing contest held on the North Shore of Hawaii...It was shown on NBC Sports Easter Sunday 1966. and was nominated for an Emmy Award for best sports special.. Narrated by Bruce Brown (Very Rare)... Bruce interviews Miki Dora, Duke Kahanamoku and others. Great camera shots from the water and helicopter..It's kind of like one of Bruce Brown's own surfing films but was only shown on tv once and never released so it's really a lost Bruce Brown film (though he wasn't the one filming it)... Transferred from 16mm and Not Sold Anywhere

CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR tv broadcast ... 1966 2nd Annual DUKE KAHANAMOKU INVITATIONAL SURFING CHAMPIONSHIPS..

DUKE KAHANAMOKU's WORLD OF SURFING TV Special...1968 TV special on Duke and the Duke contest made right after Duke's Death.. hour long and GREAT.. Duke talking about his early boards, visit to the Bishop Museum, Interviews with Surfers, Footage from the Duke Contest, old footage of Duke etc..shown on tv once and never seen again, until NOW!

PSYCHEDELIC WET...1968 Short surfing art film by Homer Groening..Do you know who Homer Groening is? Yep that's right, the Father of Matt Groening, the creator of THE SIMPSONS and FURTURAMA Cartoons.. His father worked for Jantzen swimwear in the 1960's and made several films for them and himself, some winning awards. Hard to explain this film, sort of a free form trippy short put together over some music that sounds like it could be Frank Zappa and the Mothers under a different name. there is underwater shots, blurry naked girls underwater, Surfing at Sunset Beach, Hawaii, Cool colors, a Psychedelic Surf Trip.. Now you can understand where Matt comes up with his wacky ideas.

MOODS OF SURFING...1968 This Awarding winning short film by MacGillivray & Freeman (RIP) is an artsy piece with slowmo water shots and big waves. starts out with mellow music on little waves and builds up to dramatic music with Huge Hawaiian waves. SURFERS LIVE THE LIFE THEY LOVE is what the title says in the beginning. Not sold on vhs or dvd, but you could borrow the film from your local library years ago.. Starring David Nuuhiwa and others. Some of this Footage is from the full length film FREE AND EASY and there was a religious tv commercial made the next with footage from this film..... I was told by Dennis Dragon that he and Grant Rohloff made a short film with the same name,, anyone have a copy of it???

THE SWEET RIDE... 1968 Hollywood Beatnik, Hippie, Beach type film, starring Tony Franciosa, Jacquelin Bisset, topless on the beach, And Bob Denver AKA Gilligan/Dobie Gillis.. .. Has a surfing scene with David Nuuhiwa and other well known surfers and then goes right into a psychedelic scene filmed in the TARANCHULA night club with the Band MOBY GRAPE.. very cool flick!! the surfing footage was some of the first big time jobs for MacGillivray and Freeman

ANDY MAKES A MOVIE...1968 A short Documentary on ANDY WARHOL, Bob Smith? filmed while Aaron Sloan? interviewed Andy.. filmed during the shoot of his never released so called SURFING MOVIE called (SAN DIEGO SURF aka THE SURFING MOVIE aka SURFING)..Andy was making some sort of artsy fartsy surf film on the beach at La Jolla where they rented a beach house for 3 weeks.. This short film is just a bunch of weird scenes of the actors, surfers, loading cameras with film, frolicking on the beach, scenes of them with cameras in the house looking outside all taking place as Andy is working.. guys in speedos and leather jackets splashing in the surf, no real surfing going on just a bunch of weirdness.and it seemed to be really cold, everyone has on jackets and it's windy... and all thru the scenes you hear Andy answering the interviewers questions about Art, Films, Actors Life etc.... Extremely rare piece of surf history, you must be a true Andy fan to even want to watch it.. but there are some classic surfboards in it. and some very strange scenes.. this film is Rare as Hens Teeth!

RIDE A WHITE HORSE...1968 One of the only Bob Evans Surf films around, Bob made more films than any other surf filmer.. Based in Australia, most of his were of Australian surfers. This one features Nat Young, Midget Farrelly, Bob McTavish and Peter Drouyn traveling to Hawaii and other spots. Cool footage of the Peru, San Diego and Makaha contests.. also has many other American surfers, Phil Edwards, Mike Doyle, Greg Noll etc.

THE NATURAL ART...1969 By Fred Windisch This is one VERY RARE and PSYCHEDELIC film.. Short boards are here and they surf Oahu, Kauai, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Calif and the West Indies... Lots of trippy animation. Yoga and some footage of a Be In in San Francisco..Also has the very first '70's surfing animation (The Eternal Sea) by Glenn Schot with help from Arnie Wong who later did the classic Alcapulco Gold and Skateboard Madness animations.. You won't find this film anywhere else..

POPSICKLE... 1969 by Grant Rohloff...This is NOT a surf film but rather a short film about Motorcycles. another one of the rare short films Grant made with a sound track by Dennis and Daryl Dragon, I heard that Bruce Brown saw this film and it gave him the idea to make his classic motorcycle film starring Steve McQueen, ON ANY SUNDAY.. extremely rare! i have a feeling some of this footage was in Grants film called A NIGHT OF SURFING SKATEBOARDING and MOTORCYCLING 1965 and his other film called HUH? 1967

FANTASTIC PLASTIC MACHINE...1969 This is a forgotten made for the Big Screen Surf film..it has a real Plot and is about the WINDNSEA Surf Club traveling to Australia to have a contest with the Australian's.. Stars of the film are George Greenough, Steve Bigler, Nat Young, Mike Purpus, Skip Frye, Mickey Munoz, Margo Godfrey and others, they stop in Fiji and New Zealand, Narrated by Jay North who played Dennis the Menace on tv in 1959.. Not Legally sold, there are different bootleg's floating around, this version is the best and it's WIDESCREEN

SURFING IN VIETNAM (CHINA BEACH)... 1970 I wasn't sure where to list this film.. During the Vietnam war, If you were sent for a little R&R (Rest and Recreation) chances were you went to the real CHINA BEACH in Da Nang (remember the tv show of the same name). We have all heard rumors of guys surfing while over there, and i even heard someone threw a little surfing contest in Vietnam during the time. And don't forget the movie APOCALYPSE NOW and the surfing during battle. So i searched for years for proof that soldiers did surf, Welp i found it, this is simi professional home movies of the China Beach Resort, so to say, It shows everyone enjoying themselves, drinking beer, throwing footballs, enjoying life and trying to forget the hell they were just in.. I wouldn't say there was great surf on the day they filmed but there are guys surfing little tiny waves and it's during wartime in Vietnam, and they must have at least 10 surfboards on the base.. Rare footage

Can you spot Miki Dora? soundtrack by the Challengers Surf Band. "For Those Who Think Young" was the Pepsi Slogan of the time, hence the reason you see Pepsi in many scenes, they were the ones who funded the movie.. there is everything in this film, Surfing, So many Famous actors and comedians of the time. Crazy songs, great bar everyone hangs out in called the SURF'S UP

THE BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER...1965 AKA MONSTER IN THE SURF, One of the few Teen Surf films to Cross with a Horror film..

There was never a recorded soundtrack to it, So for this dvd they put it to music by the AQUA VELVETS, no narration and not a great film, out of focus at times etc..but lots of classic historical surf footage.

SURFIN' SHORTS... 1964, Bruce Brown surfing film.. I won't list all of Bruce's SURF films because they are very easy to get and sold everywhere but i mention this film for skateboarding collectors who may not know that this DVD has the short film AMERICA'S NEWEST SPORT.

INSIDE OUT... 1965, by Dale Davis (RIP) classic '60's film with Malibu, Dora and the gang..

CHILDREN OF THE SUN... 1965-68

RAT PFINK A BOO BOO... 1965 Low budget film that was supposed to be titled Rat Pfink & Boo Boo, like Batman and Robin but they screwed up the title and didn't have the money to fix it. and i guess Boo Boo came from Yogi Bears sidekick.. Not a surf film but sort of in the same vein as the cheesy surf/monster films.. there is some surfing and a song called YOU IS A RAT FINK .. so it goes along with the '60's surf, hot rod era.. campy funny film..was very.hard to find and just released on dvd. if you know the film, you are very hip, if not, do a google search

MONDO MOD... 1966, Weird Teen Scene film.. This strange film documented the Mod Pre Hippie Happenings, Riots on Sunset Street, Motorcycle Gangs, Go Go Girls, Drugs, LSD and the best part a long SURFING segment..

COSMIC CHILDREN... 1970 Hal Jepsen's FIRST surf film

RAINBOW BRIDGE... 1970, starring JIMI HENDRIX.. This is a verrrrry Psychedelic movie, it takes place in Hawaii on a big Hippie commune on Maui, Many think this is a concert film, it's not, just so happens Jimi was in town so he is in the film and they filmed him at a small outdoor concert. I'm listing this film because there is SURFING footage of David Nuuhiwa during the song EASY RIDER, more surfing using a camera mounted to the surfboard and a sceen where it shows how they smuggled marijuana pollen glassed into a surfboard that was smuggled in by a Soldier who came back from Vietnam, as well as surfers talking about surfing while on LSD. and the beginning of the film starts as a Cowboy Shoots a Surfer off his Surfboard and his soul drifts off twords the sky... A very SpAceY CoSmiC Film.. FAR OUT MAN!

Great old music too like the Moody Blues... Very Cool Film

MORNING OF THE EARTH..1972, by Albert Falzon, Great Classic Australian surfing movie

CRYSTAL VOYAGER... 1972, The classic film about Greorge Greenough and the building of his boat, traveling to the Santa Barbara Islands, and has the FAMOUS Greenough Film ECHOS at the end of the film. ECHOS was the 20 min surfers point of view footage (camera strapped to his back while kneeboarding in the tube) put the Pink Floyd tune ECHOS... Pink Floyd would also use the footage during their live performances.. it was groundbreaking at the time

SEA DREAMS...1973 Great early '70's surfing film, with lots of Killer music, Jimi Hendrix etc.. colored filters, a visual trip.. another one of Curt Mastalka's surf films where he just stole the music of the day, that's the reason the films have not been legally released earlier, they are out now but for how long? sooner or later if the music companies find out, they will put a stop to it.

RED HOT BLUE... 1973

A SEA FOR YOURSELF... 1973 Hal Jepsen

FIVE SUMER STORIES +4... 1975

SUNDANCE... 1976 By Curt Mastalka, (His 3rd Film) Another great lost surfing film from the mid '70's... just released on DVD.. has all the stars of the day and lots of rare Skateboarding with Jay Adams, even shows him surfing and getting barreled.. Like i said, it hasn't been seen since it was first shown, they stole all the music so they couldn't legally release it, it's out now until the music companies say Stop! Cool Film

KENNY & CO. ... 1976, A slice of middle american teenage life of the '70's.. No real plot to this film, it's sort of like a long Brady Bunch episode about a kid name Kenny and his friends, they build a go-cart, play with firecrackers, pranks on adults, sting-ray bikes and of course SKATEBOARDS, one of the first films of the '70's to show skateboarding, a few tricks, riding off a car roof, headstands etc.. they actually ride down what i think is Signal Hill? if you look in the very first skateboard magazine from 1975 called SKATEBOARD, and there was only one copy before the well known SKATEBOARDER magazine came out, anyway, there is an article on this movie being filmed.. and the stunt skateboarder was Sims team rider little Steve Monahan. He is also in the BEACH BOYS TV SPECIAL, SKATEBOARD the movie and every other mid '70's film with skateboarding..

SUPER SESSIONS... 1976, Surfing/Skateboarding film by Hal Jepsen, His best film starring Larry Bertleman (who invented the Bertleman Slide aka "the BERT", now an old school skate move in the new TONY HAWK playstation thanks to the film the LORDS OR DOGTOWN), filmed in Hawaii, California and Australia. The movie is best known for the Skateboarding footage of the Dogtown skaters, Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta, Peggy Oki, Jay Adams etc.. and coverage of the 1975 Bahne/Caddillac skateboard contest where their new style of skateboarding is introduced to the world.. much of the contest footage was seen the in the DOGTOWN Documentary DOGTOWN & Z-BOYS...A MUST HAVE!!!
