Bottom contours at 29 secs ?

Pops Friday, 8 Mar 2019 at 10:24 am

Thanks! Looks like a pretty old website so hopefully the contact details are still right. It's the old fella's birthday next week; I reckon seeing that'd make his day.

stunet Friday, 8 Mar 2019 at 10:24 am

Erle Pedersen inspired. Maybe even an original.

stunet Friday, 8 Mar 2019 at 10:25 am

Bruce Usher is pretty active on FB. If need be, you could contact him there.

Pops Friday, 8 Mar 2019 at 10:28 am

Cheers.
If the email to Phil doesn't work I'll track him down
You really are an encyclopedia for this stuff!

'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.

This is old footage around Lennox with GG.......awesome ....freeride you seen this?

freeride76 Monday, 11 Mar 2019 at 09:17 am

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 Saturday, 16 Mar 2019 at 10:32 pm

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!

Blowin Sunday, 6 Oct 2019 at 08:01 pm

That’s funny ....and true.

I can say that cause I can post photos and links now. Only took me a few years of trying too.

Come on Udo , take your class act to the next level.

Ease your way into the weekend with this slice of gold.

factotum Saturday, 16 Nov 2019 at 09:17 am

Weird. Featuring Australian waves a tiny percentage of surfers here have surfed, let alone know about, I wager.

Especially compared to the NW of WA.

Yet where's dat good ol' outrage??

Confusing?

Yeah, nah.

All par for a blow-in's course.

Patrick Saturday, 16 Nov 2019 at 11:57 am

no wuckers. it might be hard to find, I think it's release was blocked by people or companies mentioned in it.

I watched it when I was staying at a surf camp in Indo, they had a copy.

Good doco, great story and cool surfing.

Ray Shirlaw Saturday, 16 Nov 2019 at 04:15 pm

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...

Blowin Sunday, 22 Dec 2019 at 11:40 am

The editing did my head in a bit but it’s always nice being reminded just how good he was / is.
