Love the pictures in this thread! Here in the Midwest we don’t have “natural” waves. This is how I surf...

I believe that they were on the Patagonia campus; hopefully someone (in particular) with more knowledge will chime in...all that I know is the world can use a(nother) great surf movie just about now...

I like both of those pics, Peter .. they bring back memories of a golden era, when crowds were much thinner.

I've had them. I was hit just above my ear. Ten stitches. That was Huntington Beach though. Mostly point breaks up here in Ventura. Much easier to avoid lose boards.

Pretty sweet CR wave, Peter. Perfection in fact ..

I ran into some more old photos I'd taken of a trip we made to Bali around '75 ..

Not the best conditions, but ANY day at Uluwatu is packed now. On this particular day, we just hung out for a bit until the tide dropped more and the waves cleaned up. Just 3 of us rode for hours:

Thanks for sharing, Geary....very cool and very interesting stuff!

Shirley is such a hottie!

Who's the dude in the center?

Also, I enjoyed reading the article from your link. GL is such a hero of mine. I still go nuts when I watch Conan the Barbarian because of the wizard....:p

I've never been to Indo - maybe one day. I realize it's now all changed but would still be a great trip.

Thanks again for the neat vintage material. And yes, Peter - that is a sweet wave in your post!

.. guy in the center is "snake" ..

Eloy Lorenzo on what the locals are saying to be the longest wave ever ridden in over 20 years at Uluwatu. Video and edit by @margaretriver_productions

Wow .. beautiful wave. What's amazing to me is that there's no pack sitting on the outside. Must have been a relentless swell (no lulls). 70 seconds? For comparison, a big day at Pavones can be 130+

A hundred years ago when i was into it, huntington and zooport were crazy crowded, so we went down to San Onofre.
Major click but not as crowded.
