We're so lucky that G.G. wanted to share his stoke with all of us.Watched him at Rincon when I was a grom and wanted to be just like him when I grew up. I never grew up.

Foils and rocker were what Greenough started everyone thinking about. Now its a science. Thank you George.

George is light years ahead. The mind of a scientist in the body of a searcher. He still makes an impact today. Thanks George.

He is one of a kind. What he accomplishes in this movie blows my mind.

I saw this movie at the Santa Cruz Civic in 1973.We were riding inflatable rafts around here in the summer back then. I bought one with twin fins at Thrifty Drug store. Awesome flick.

Morning of the earth best of all with this second....I went from a surfboard to a mat than a kneeboard because of george .....

Ritchie west once showed me pictures of him on georges boat on the sail over to australia and indo RIP ritchieiss ya my friend❤

Loved the garden. Thanks for posting this, what, 45 years later.

The man the myth the legend Absolutely awesome 👍🤙🏻

I invited a girl from my high school to see this on a first date. I was stoked out of my mind, particularly seeing those inside the barrel shots. She, not so stoked. We never went out again unfortunately. But yeah, it's a surfers film for sure.

What was her problem? Find her, call her, & tell her I said she’s a big dummy!

He came to San Diego in the mid-to-late 60s can't remember exactly when but there was a whole group of knee borders that spent their time at a place at Sunset Cliffs which in the summertime had a great inside break called the boil. Most of us were making our own boards then and when everybody saw those spoons that he was making and how flexible they were my friends all started making those and I had the pleasure of riding many of those old spoons. So lucky to have been part of that generation of surfing and my brother and I made all of our own surfboards then. We laid up our own fins and made our own shapes . Thanksgiving of 1969 my older brother and I drove from San Diego to Santa Barbara and spent the 3-day weekend surfing perfect Rincon what's 6 to 10 ft faces and so many people out. I remember I was riding a 6 ft 3 all down rails with a diamond tail and a rounded nose and my brother was riding a 5'6 all down rails with a square nose and a diamond tail and Keel fins and all the boys at Rincon were still riding 8 ft plus boards and boy The Gauntlet that we how to walk down through on the beach the paddle out was ridiculous with all the people yelling at us. Great memories. I never owned a surfboard that I didn't make myself

I have several Greenough boards from the 80’s. Magical! Opening shot from the Ranch.

they dont make em like that anymore...quality street . RESPECT

How insanely good is the soundtrack!!??

( " i see it as the last place to get away from a croud " ) What a gem

Yep he invented water housing for cameras and the template for Anderson and Radon boats basically..dudes a legend in SB

Only time I met him was before I knew who he was, then my buddy showed me the inner most limits of pure fun, this was the late 90s while going to school in SB, been a fan of his movies, and innovations ever since

Thanks for sharing this awesome movie!

A masterpiece thanks for sharing

Carp was 2nd home growing up....This is great!

The best!

One of my fav movies

Scrounging around for iron ballast at the wrecking yard... barefoot. How badass is that?

George... the original "DIY" maritime guy!

GG is a talented and industrious man, but wow did he get into some hazardous work. Barefoot in the junkyard? Homemade blast furnace? That scene with the LEAD? What a legend.

a true "da vinci", george is creative and decently financed. a perfectionist, obviously, representing with hard work and determination. I've only seen 1 or 2 knee riders, perhaps 1 was george.

Quote: @ 6:10 maintain control even when the board is airborne.. Where can I get a scag to do that LOL............................ Love George. always.

36:03 OG GoPro ! What a pioneer ! GG would be amazed what we have now.

Where's the section with Pink Floyd's Echoes? A third of the film is missing!

That’s the only reason I came here - I originally saw “Crystal Voyager” in the Students Union at Southampton University in England in 1975 - that was my introduction to Pink Floyd - “Echoes” remains my favourite Floyd track to this day.

My guess is copyright infringement made them take it out though the Floyd is still named in the opening credits. "New car, caviar, four star daydream..." Indeed.

great one, thanks for putting this out here

Would love to hear your feedback and old stories if anyone has some! Cheers!

I saw this when it came out at the drive in It played with Easy Rider

Met him in SB back in the day. I rode a 6' kneeboard after for many years on the Central Coast.

The Malibu footage doesn't look that different from today, 3-5 guys who can barely surf riding one wave on archaic equipment

Old Diving Jackets with the flap that goes around and buttons up. Usually over Long Johns.

is carcass, a intolerible mat rider, from Lenny the ox, in this film? If so, please delete, with the echoes segment.

Drop ins even then 😂

No leashes and beaver tails? Is this real? It's just Neanderthalian not to stand up. LOL
