'A Winter's Tale' I remember seeing at Palm Beach Cinema (1975)
When I checked that Hippy poster... I thought I was mistaken.
Just so you know Gold Coast crew never saw (Original?) Hippy Poster.

Goldie Groms got the 3D Hand Poster +(Blue Background +Black bottom Band)
https://posteritati.com/posters/000/000/037/485/winters-tale-md-web.jpg

So so many 70's surf flix at cinemas back then...never a bad one!

Palmy used to run (Groms vs Bert) marathons of 5 Surf Flix.
I reckon this film would have featured in one of Bert's marathons...for sure.

Yeah I have. I worked for George helping him with the edit and remaster of Innermost Limits of Pure fun.

These are all fragments of film he found while doing it.

how sick is that double-up bank at Lennox.

You could walk around the rocks at low tide that year.


Pops, Sat 16 Mar 2019 11:32

Phil posted me a copy of A Winter's Tale during the week. Watched it with the old man tonight. Think we ID'd him on a couple of waves in the LA section (including the first wave of the section), as well as a bunch of his old mates he lost contact with decades ago. Really made his day.
Besides all that, it's a bloody good film.
Thanks so much, Stu!

Kiwi was Kevin Jarrett. The board had a keel, similar to a Pat Morgan style, and no straps. Hard to get up on but fun as on flat water. If they had modern straps you could have tow surfed them for sure. They may have in NZ. I think they are made by a guy called Tony Waterhouse. Don't ask me how I remember this. It's 44 years ago...

That's pretty impressive not holding back and reading those waves perfectly probably the best tube footage of a female I've seen, and even the turns are powerful, you can tell she really wants to smack those lips.

Almost like a female Occy.

This video is surely worth a slot on Swellnet's main page


Island Bay, Tue 14 Apr 2020 08:15

Chelsea Georgeson beats her hands down. And with much better style. Imo.


lostdoggy, Tue 14 Apr 2020 08:25

Well it was still pretty good IB, and although she's been around a while now she's only 18. Impressive


AndyM, Tue 14 Apr 2020 08:28

Infinitely better style.
I kinda think that even though Caroline Marks is only going to get better, generally speaking style is something that is innate.


stunet, Tue 14 Apr 2020 08:35

Bottom turn.





Island Bay, Tue 14 Apr 2020 08:45

Doggy, she rips, though I think she's overrated (and has a rank style).


Blowin, Tue 14 Apr 2020 08:48

Chelsea has a more refined technique , particularly for surfing from a decade ago but Caroline has the X factor as did Occy.

Not so much unpredictable but unrestrained. Brutal aggression. She’s still young and a bit goofy , happy to be giving it to the top girls. Wait till she’s owning it a bit and she gets challenged.....she’ll lose her shit and go next level. From friendly puppy fighting to attack dog.

Chelsea has always been one of my favourite chick surfers . It’s nice to have another . There hasn’t been too many girls I’d watch a stand alone video part - perhaps a dozen ( ? ) the more the merrier.


AndyM, Tue 14 Apr 2020 08:49

There's aggression and power but then there's style and finesse.

I mean, I can watch Tom Carroll for a while but I can watch Tom Curren for a lot longer.

Time will tell.


Island Bay, Tue 14 Apr 2020 08:58

Generally, Steph is the style goddess, Carissa the ripper, and Tyler the powerhouse. I just remember some clip of Chelsea G at Greenbush, I think. Incredible barrel riding. Thomas Campbell film?


freeride76, Tue 14 Apr 2020 09:14

I can't watch Marks, literally makes me wince.

I know she rips but that over-coached, unnatural arm waving/voguing makes me ill.


AndyM, Tue 14 Apr 2020 09:21

It's like the visual version of listening to a chick with bad vocal fry.


Blowin, Tue 14 Apr 2020 09:22

Put her on a left and she’s a ringer for a young Nathan Hedge.

https://youtu.be/R9cjoIyKBMM

Sure , the Raggedy Anne arms are grating but I’ve never seen a chick lay down lines like these.

As Gordon Merchant said about Occy- “ Like a speed boat moving through the water.”


AndyM, Tue 14 Apr 2020 09:34

I reckon from 1.55 in that Chelsea vid above, she's drawing more radical and committed lines than CM.


goofyfoot, Tue 14 Apr 2020 10:00

CM surfs teahupoo really well. And like some one else said above she’s only 18 and going to get a crap load better. I reckon many of the guys on here wouldn’t of made a lot of those take offs. Me included

Blowin, Fri 08 May 2020 02:50

Watched the Bunker Spreckles movie last night.

Very interesting.

Nice to see a bio surf flick which wasn’t based on hand wringing over lost heats. This wasn’t about surfing as a career , this was about surfing being everything to you .....until drugs and self doubt creep in.

Crazy how broad is the spectrum of participation in surfing. Nice to see the depiction of someone out of the ordinary. The strange thing is that it’s really just the surfing part of it that was extraordinary. The rest was just a bloke with too much money to be held accountable to just about anything. His adventures were impressive, but no more so than that which pretty much anyone could get up to with endless cash.

His creation of the short board , low rail after living the surfing monk existence is the stuff I thought was special. Other than that it’s just Motley Crüe-esque lifestyle porn. Fun enough tale to learn but not the story of the God-like fella with limitless reserves of talent in all arenas that I was expecting.

Made special by the fact that it wasn’t just all talking heads describing retrospective shit as a lot of these Bio flicks can be. The amount of home footage and interviews with the man himself took it to the next level.

Well made , interesting movie on a surfing character I was peripherally award of which fleshed him out without descending into hagiography or cautionary tale. Non judgmental story on a different kind of life.

It’s on Amazon Prime. They’re doing well with surf flicks.....momentum generation, Hobgood’s flick . Nathan Fletcher’s movie.

Just imagine Healeys view when that thing was steaming towards him.
Look how fucking far up the reef he is compared to everyone else! He is such a psychopath.
I remember reading an interview with a group of nutter big wave surfers. Think kohl, wassell, Greg long etc and they all agreed that Healey is the craziest one, the guy who will hold his position and not paddle out to sea no matter what’s coming towards them. The little bastard fascinates me

Anyone see the news they are going to make a film adaptation of Finnegan's Barbarian Days - A Surfing Life?

Be interesting how that goes in movie format, somewhat excited as I loved the book, huge life story to tell in a movie setting though. Hopefully some quality footage in there. Tavarua...


goofyfoot, Thur 08 Oct 2020 08:46

Barbarian Days has the potential to be a great movie. Looking forward to it.

upnorth, Thur 08 Oct 2020 19:55

I'd like to see Barbarian Days as a film but it would be near impossible to do it justice. The book is full of subtlety, Finnegan conjures such a sense of time and place and it would be lost on screen. And then there's the surfing, if it isn't at say big Jardim with boulders the size of cars being rolled around what's the point.


stunet, Thur 08 Oct 2020 20:46

Agree. Without Finnegan's dexterity it's just another surf jaunt.



And I have a feeling surfers will be picking boulder-size holes in Hollywood's attempt to recreate period surf destinations: Kirra '78, camping on Tavarua, Honolua before the crowds.



goofyfoot, Thur 08 Oct 2020 21:07

Zen ....it’s worth going to Deserts just to sit on the beach and marvel at the way nature can create such a perfect, perfect venue for something as fickle and demanding as surfing.

The alignment of the reef , the way swell funnels along it , the predominant wind direction, the water temp and colour , the backdrop and the blue sky . It’s fucking crazy.

It’s like being told the formidable odds against winning powerball and then still somehow buying the winning ticket.

Probably should take a board with you.

"Sea of Darkness - can watch here for those that havent seen it
https://archive.org/details/sea-of-darkness"

Watched this again yesterday first time in years, its an interesting story/docco but i actually find it really depressing and sad, so many guys could have had the best life's but fucked their life's up basically for greed and money and guys that were also really talented surfers.

Martin Daley comes out looking the best from it all, seems he never lost site of the dream, and Peter McCabe kept his life together too.

BTW one thing i don't get is they say they did their first trip to Mentawai islands in early 80s (83 from memory) but then the Lance knight HT's story doesn't happen until 91


carpetman, Thur 17 Dec 2020 06:06

First trips I think were to Panaitan. Then Enganno. Then Ments. Don't know the timing but I think that was the order.

Also, does anyone know which version the streaming sea of darkness is? I saw one on a boat trip a long time ago and then one online and I remember the one on the boat trip having a lot more detail.


indo-dreaming, Sat 19 Dec 2020 06:14

Im not sure on what version it was, i have a feeling its the edited version, as painted Martin in a pretty good light, and he is the one who owns the rights too it, because he wasn't happy with how he was portrayed.

Anyway it didn't last long, its already been removed from that link, it's amazing how persistent and efficient they are in removing any copies online.

1: cluster- Kai Neville
2: outdated children- mick waters; also rivalled by uncharted waters- Wayne Lynch; and never town -Patagonia
3: kissed by god vs sea of darkness for best docos
4: physic migrations-Volcom = dear Suburbia (best single section of any surf clip ever the waves in Jap on that swell will never be topped)
5: view from a blue moon
6: innermost limits of pure- GG. So nice just to see all the waves empty before people, endless summer section of Bruces beauties also comes close to this. Another VHS classic is billabong 9 lives super challenge
7: notable web clips include anything torn Martyn, real axe, anything mason, 12 hrs in the desert with Jack Robbo, spirit jay Davies, anything russ birerke (flow state is the best), space by John John, anything of the search (snake takes the cake), stab doco on Andy, taj burrow stab in the dark, Laurie towners first wave at shipsterns with a cameo from Andy and Joel, anything with Bryce young (the most underrated surfer on the planet), what happened to Laurie Towner on stab, just for now-ran cal, welcome elsewhere-crag Anderson,

Anyone got an original copy of Wanderjahr, the margo project and a day in a life of Wayne lycnh both on VHS I could buy.




^^^^^^^^rough list no particular order^^^^^^^


Blowin, Fri 09 Jul 2021 05:03

The new Volcom movie “Lobotomy” has some great stuff.

The first section of Noah Deane and Jack Robbo out at the wedgy break wall right has a few stunning displays of power surfing. Deane in particular has developed a pretty decent natural footed interpretation of Occy’s signature backfootplant gouge. Also nice to see someone give it to it layback hacks without the affected double hands down which only serves to dilute the leverage and brutal aggression the move requires to inspire. Crazy surfing by these two at the spot which is possibly the most suitable venue to display the classic Aussie power surfing technique.



Also big props to Deane for recognising switch as the fertile ground for future progression. A switch ally oop isn’t something you see everyday!


willibutler, Fri 09 Jul 2021 05:04

yep can now add lobotomy to the list and im sure snapt 4 will sit nicely in the list


Blowin, Fri 09 Jul 2021 05:16

indo-dreaming, Sat 11 Sep 2021 23:35

Rubber soul (Rip curl): use to love this had the best soundtrack, Celibate Rifles, Exploding white mice, Ed Keupper etc it was more just the vibe that was a big influence on me (Savage cuts 2 was similar) Oh and then there was off course searching for Tom Curren the J-Bay footage and Bawa footage. (i think it was that movie)

Filthy habits (Billabong): Again amazing soundtrack T.S.OL. Social distortion, the Johnnys etc, great surfing the Occy footage is legendary (Surf into summer also good)

Chris Bystrom movies (Blazing boards, Beyond blazing boards, Freeze frame, son of the last surf movie etc) almost docco style and great insight into east coast OZ surfing, especially the Kirra & burleigh footage.

Wave warriors 3 & 4: very USA vibe but the surfing from Christian fletcher was way ahead of anyone at the time.

Indo express: surfing not so great, soundtrack not so great, but great insight into the east side of Indo, still a few waves on it that rarely get shown anywhere else..

Sarges scrap book series: Again awesome soundtrack, raw footage almost reality TV like, great documentation of what pro surfing was in the 90s

Kelly Slater in Black & White= Level of surfing blew us away when it came, surfing was just so far ahead of anything else. (then latter In Color)

Jack McCoy movies(Bunyip dreaming, Green iguana)= Brought a more quality filmmaker quality to things, again Occys sections were always the highlight.

Taylor Steele (movies) not a huge fan of the soundtracks IMHO the whole so cal punk thing hasn't aged well, and the waves weren't real great a lot of the time ad the vids had little soul, but the level of surfing was very high.

The Hole: Pretty much exposed the world to the Mentawais

September sessions: Great movie featuring the Mentawais with a mellow soundtrack

Young guns 2: Again all about the Mentawai's first footage of Green bush and maybe even Rifles

After that it's all such a blur too many to name, lot of good ones that just came with mags etc

Castles in the Sky, Rastas' surfing in Lakshadweep is sublime and an awesome soundtrack


Blowin, Sat 18 Sep 2021 04:25

I’ve always loved this little section. The pace and cadence of the music, the vibe and the insane technical ability and style of one of the greats. Epic. The off best suits his surfing.


Island Bay, Sat 18 Sep 2021 08:04

Yes, that was good.


Blowin, Sun 19 Sep 2021 05:50

indo-dreaming, Sun 19 Sep 2021 06:20

Tahiti one is interesting just for the fact you rarely see any other waves from there, looks like a fun little set up.

Gee's boards from that era looks long though.


simba, Sun 19 Sep 2021 06:45

yeah Blowin Ethan channeling AI .............good clip !


etarip, Sun 19 Sep 2021 07:06

That Ethan clip was great. Some solid ones in there - that tube at the end was meaty


Blowin, Tue 28 Sep 2021 03:55

Look, I realise that this clip is only so important to me because it was on such heavy rotation during some pretty pivotal formative years - think I was 12 or so at the time - but this still has a hold over me. Crazy to think how much this resonated. I still think it’s one of the best songs ever as a result. Even the droning monotone Turpel-esque delivery by Bryson is evocative.

Back then I’d have crawled through a shit filled sewer pipe to see some Occy and Pottz footage. The moment of Occy doing a high line speed run to cutback at 1:10 was rewound dozens and dozens of times. That thing owned me. I’d think about it all the time. I’m not sure what I thought was so radical about it now but back then it seemed to be the pinnacle of ripping.

Geez…..life was simple as a preteen pinner dreaming of surfing like your heroes. I’m sure there was some kind of anxiety in my world then though I sure can’t remember it. I do recall being so tired at the end of each day’s surfing that I could barely function. Who knew a twisty sandwich didn’t provide enough vitamins, minerals and nutrients to last a full day of grom slashing and assorted pinner hi jinx?

https://youtu.be/Zj5gmMfhOBg


indo-dreaming, Tue 28 Sep 2021 07:03

I really like the Kirra footage from Blazing boards but cant find it online.

This was my favourite part of the movie, its not as good as i remember but still he surfing was ahead of everyone at that time early 80s and still on single fins, just loved the creativity of his surfing, especially the V land surfing from about 40 seconds in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X0ybabB6e8


indo-dreaming, Tue 28 Sep 2021 07:07

From another Bryson movie this was another fav section, he doesn't make much, but just the pushing it as far as he could was inspirational, doesn't seem like much now but Christian Fletcher and Archy blew me away as a grommet and paved the way for modern day surfing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uF154tPOSc


stunet, Tue 28 Sep 2021 07:37

Not Bryson, it's Bystrom.

Jeez, you get Joe Turpel's name right and Chris Bystrom's name wrong. Where's the justice?


Blowin, Tue 28 Sep 2021 08:11

You’re right dammit.

I’ve just reread an old Bill Bryson and committed the gravest sin against the Bystrom legend. Almost typed Bryson again just then.

There was something soothing about Bystrom’s Seppo drawl where Turpel’s is grating. His narration and editing style lived up to the Cali Cruiser trope. Not sure if he was even from California?

Loved his movies - The filming, editing, narration and particularly the music.
I know this has been posted 100 times but fuck….this song and Occy’s air in 1985!!!!!!

https://youtu.be/2KrEtbeRKw4


Blowin, Tue 28 Sep 2021 08:16

I remember meeting a fella at G Land once and found out his name was Sloth. After Bystrom’s flicks, meeting Sloth at G Land was like meeting Neil Armstrong on the Moon. If I recall correctly he even invited myself and the missus to come visit him in Queensland if we were ever there. Pretty sure he was a builder? Maybe totally misremembering that part.

https://youtu.be/M7ly5JCCt10


groundswell, Tue 28 Sep 2021 08:34

Blowin i met a guy in 98 who goes by the name of Matt who was dropping in on everybody at scars and supersuck on the shoulder. was on the same boat as me (Purnama Indah) he heard us all bitching about his drop ins and then said in a deep san diego accent " have you guys seen blazing boards? im in that movie, paddling out in the cave at ulus, you guys should check it out! "

We all cacked up laughing at his expense. could be the same guy unless the guy you're talking about could surf. I met him again in 2008 in Krui, well ujung bocur/biha and he didnt paddle out once. he said the waves were crappy compared to telescopes and he went back there....if you're keen traveller and can handle a bit of bike riding there are tonnes of waves in south sumatra that are better than telescopes which in my opinion is a way over rated wave and fickle.Krui left breaks as often as telescopes and doesn't need to be six foot plus to barrel. My secret spots in krui area break almost every morning and can barrel for 6-8 seconds on the right one.no one notices one of them because most waves close out, just watch the indicators and you can tell which direction the set is coming from and go it and knife into a very memorable pit. Matt was a kook though so he couldn't knife to save his life.


nickca, Tue 28 Sep 2021 11:01

Sorry for the indulgence, in the 70s I can recall filmakers like Hoole/ McCoy and Harry Hodge touring movies like bands travelling the coast along the seaboard. It was sort of an event to go to the Pix theatre in Geelong or a Townhall to see a flick at Torquay on a Sunday night. Hot Lips and Innertubes , Crystal Voyager(highly recommend) (George Greenough)and later Tubular Swells etc. It was a sort of a meeting of the tribes( no disrespect intended ) ie the Bellarine and the Surfcoast. Hopefully the filmakers made some cabbage out of it.You sort of had to look at the dates and wait.I guess it was a time when you would wait for Tracks or Surfing World to read a heat by heat and find out who won a contest….ok boomer!

Premieres Sunday 24th April 8:30 (ABC) Just started running ads now!

Unsure if 1971 Surfing has been filmed with modern Pro Go Pro film technique.
Reckon early 70's surfboard fans might get a bonus default insight into retro board lines.
This appears to be firstly a Cultural Surf Series...secondly a Soapie... ( Big on Surf Photography )
Check out the promos...instantly feel the surf Culture vibe & it looks & feels very natural.
Either way...it shapin' up as a serious Oz Surf Series that will deliver.

I know there’s a dedicated Maalaea thread but this is the best POV surf clip I’ve ever seen. So it’s going here as well. Not sure why but it’s even better than Deserts or Skeleton vids.

https://youtu.be/grBmKQ3MpaQ


groundswell, Wed 20 Jul 2022 08:13

Awesome clip but the drop ins! only a couple that i saw but kooks...Also i would have thought taking off in waves like that would have rooster tail offshore wind spray blowing in your face taking off trying to lean into it and drop in, but that clip things seem pretty clear. Excellent vid. 9/10


DudeSweetDudeSweet, Thur 01 Sep 2022 08:21

Over 25 years old now but still one of my favourites. Great camera work, epic soundtrack and documenting a good period of surfing when the tail-slides-for-tail-slides sake which eroded the excellence of rail work was waning and progressive power surfing was on the ascension.

I’m 50 and still value it. If you’re of similar demographic perhaps line it up for a Friday night viewing over a beverage or two. Sound UP.

Special mention to the Curren/ Occy section

Nice one TBB, this is a great series. It’s interesting to see which shapes have stood the test of time, and which have not. Some lovely old boards and Bird is a great host with an encyclopaedic knowledge of his hometown and it’s surf history. Would be nice to see something similar done about some of the true Australian surf communities.
