Classic old footage, John. As a youth, I may have surfed Makaha more than any other surf spot, aside from Pokai (3 miles from Makaha) where my grandparents country home was.

From what I can see, this early film shows a wave or two at pipeline, some scenes at Maile Beach (the old Maile, before the surf break was destroyed by the Army corp of Engineers), surf footage at Makaha featuring (I believe) Phil Edwards, and a rescue scene at Makua Beach (8-10 miles past Makaha).

The worst wipe-out I ever had was at Makaha Bowl in 1960. It was spectacular enough that Wally Forseith approached me on the beach .. a big deal for a young surfer dude.
