Thank you for the walk down memory Lane💕💕
Surfs beautifully
Imagine what that board would be worth. Introducing the world to the thruster.
Funny thing is Bill, we have an even earlier thruster in the museum, the first thruster to ever win a contest.
Wayne Lynch: the ‘Neil Young’ of surfing… if you will ~~~🏄🏻♂️ 😊 🌊🎸
Not a lot of guys are that honest about how they were really feeling. None really. That's a man.
How's Rabbit paying for him instead of taking the spot. What a sportsman.
So Rad!
I'm busting for a shit...
He is the Best...a real Man ,much more than an Actor ❤💢He loves the Life 👍💎❤️🔥❣️❣️
Crazy story, respect to Wayne. Legends like this you don't know about & so cool to see him surf and listen to this story.
Wow!
Best shark account I’ve ever heard. I think that shark would have eaten that John guy for sure if this Wayne guy hadn’t saved him. What an incredible story.
very interesting
I know ⭐🌊 but had no idea about his son, 🌎🏆 . Arness was the 🏀s 🪖🇺🇸 💌Dillon
All competitors got was a trophy
Some rare footage. That was the same spot, I started to learn how to surf starting in 1970. Crazy and it's a small world after all. Doyle shot was classic and now I live in So Cal. Cheers.
I just watched a re-run episode of Gunsmoke and mentioned to my wife that James's son was The World Champ Surfer in 1970. Recalling this off the top of my head, I decided to confirm with an Internet search. I was right, Rolf was indeed World Champ 1970, but when the search showed further a vid of James surfing, I was super stoked, now I like Gunsmoke better than ever! My 65th year watching Gunsmoke, my 55th year surfing, love both to this day.
Wow! That's an awesome and scary experience!
Derek si speciale assai
pretty crazy the shark had the intelligence to peak out of the water to get a good look and do so very quietly......incredible skill imo to investigate and assess the situation b4 just going ballistic in for an attack....it already seen you in the water and most likely been scoping you out for lil while.experienced am sure being a huge white so it wasnt a youngster.......the end was a lil bit of shocker, it must have been thinking have a go or its not my normal food......they are incredibly intellegent
Great whites are the only species that does it, many call it “tombstoning” because they resemble a tombstone when doing it…… they do it because they hunt mammals and that’s how they look for seals on beaches……. And birds…..And people in boats and dead whales…. I think it’s really impressive that they search OUTSIDE the ocean for food.
I still have the huge Piping Hot poster with Simon surfing Bells......and a photo of him mailed to me from the '83 Gunston 500. Legend!
Find Jesus fast....last days...be responsible DH
4:19-4:46 you can also see some bellyboards
WOW thanks for posting this. I've never seen this before. My dad Vic Tantau is in it and made me a little sad but melted my heart.
God bless you sir.
Is there footage of his ride?
God was with you and your friend that day you we’re Blessed not lucky and truth be told I’ll take a Blessing over luck any day of the week both Mr Lynch and his friend was blessed and I’m no shark 🦈 biologist but I don’t have to be to know sharks are wild animals that will eat whatever they feel they can safely with no injury digest and when that shark raised his head out of the water like he did I also read that other than killer whales or dolphins and sea lions 🦭 Great White Sharks are known to Stick their heads up out the water and check out their surroundings quite intelligent if you ask me and when he looked at Mr lynch & his friend he was sizing them up and knew they weren’t their usual diet but possibly eatable all thanks to G😇D even if you don’t believe in him he was the only thing between Mr Lynch his friend and that shark 🦈 and I’m happy he and his friend was spared to tell the story and swim another day but hope they realize the ocean belongs to them if it wasn’t and it was for us Our G😇D would make it possible giving us Gills and blowholes where we could live in the sea and we must respect them the same way they can’t walk on ground and stay where they are and if we invade we do it at our own risk no different than going into the wild of Africa or anywhere else in the world where wild animals live and will defend their territory by all means possible we should remember that when we go into the ocean.
Teenager when the Thruster came out to Hawaii !!
He was the man in the early 70s complete ripper.
Legend.
Wow he was good.
"I'll save you but I won't die for you" 🤺
Mind blowing...
So rad.
What a great story. The ultimate in peer pressure! Fast forward 10 years to the Billabong Pro. It got too big for Sunset so they moved it to Wiamea. I had just made my first movie BALI HIGH and was a total rookie on the North Shore. I rounded the corner that morning at Wiamea right when the first contestants paddled out. I missed seeing the 30ft close-out set 20 minutes earlier. Without thinking, I parked, put my Beaulieu camera in a waterhousing, stuffed it in my backpack and paddled out on my 7'6". Somehow I made it out cleanly. There were no jetski water patrols then. I think MR and Ross Clarke were in that 1st heat. I got MR dropping in on what was easily a 30 foot bomb, and captured a frothing Ross Clarke Jones trimming high and getting the barrel that changed his life forever afterwards. My life was changed too after that day...
i would like to hear the bits that were clearly edited out.The interview makes little or no sense because of this.
The rest of this story is cool...Wayne met him again when the guy was having some work done on his house...and Wayne was a labourer...then Wayne told him he was the guy who rescued him that day and gave him the full shark story...the guy completely got sick in the guts when he heard it.
Legend is a fitting word for this merewheather icon. I traveled to see MR . Walked into Ray Richards surf shop and my surf hero was behind the counter. I still have a photo standing next to him. I ended up ordering 2 Sam Eagan surfboards because I was a traveling surfer and Marks boards were more expensive. Every pub in Newcastle and mereweather had his huge mural wounded gull style. Thank you mark for all your positive influence on my surf path. You ROCK
I see he has been slip sliding his whole life.
These interviews are the best ever.
Went the fuck back out on his own after that . Legendary
Late 80’s surfing rights in the alley north narrabeen and there was Pam shredding o’h and young kye and Joel Fitzgerald still at school back then.
I remember way back in the 60's the surf culture coming out of Australia and we got the midget farrely tv programs in New Zealand, the Cashmere boys in Christchurch took up surfing triggered by Midget Farrely on tv it just looked so interesting, probably that and the monkeys hit the consciousness and the rest is history. Started me off second year high school after starting a new school after starting to get into trouble; surfing changed my life gave me something really healthy to do. I thank God for Midgets show and the beashes in New Zealand, it was inconsitent but forced me to travel and seek surf. Surfing saved me from getting into a lot of trouble with my mates back in the inner burbs. The trouble with tean years is too easy to get lead astray by older teenagers who you look up to; being too easily lead is a problem for teen agers. I thank the Lord for surfing, I really thank Jesus.
So cool man✌️❤️. Takes me way back. Was just a young grommet starting high school. No such thing as a leg rope and didn’t we do some swimming🤣. But hey just such groovy times in them days. Peace and love, surfing, great music, kombi’s, bit a weed, some cold beers and life was way way laid back and it only about having great times and great times we all had, man😉
No wet suits in winter! Blue lips.
@robinbanks610 - so true, so true I can still feel it, and it hurts to miss it so much. Thank God for the "stars"
@@furion.. ✌️❤️
One of the top 3 choice interviews ever, so well said. It was Edie who took surfing out of Hawaii. Surfing does not belong to Hawaii. We respect Hawaii but it is long past time they got over themselves. Being born in Hawaii does not make you a sufter. Ian Cairns, now there is a sufter.
🤙🤙🤙
This is great. I’m from Cornwall in the UK and in those days we only found out about what was happening through Tracks and the American surf mags, and they were always 3 months after the event. So in ‘81 the mags arrived and we saw the Bells pics and Simon’s victory on the new three finned boards. Then hot on the heels of this there was the first international pro event in Newquay (which actually had waves in the early rounds!!) and we got to see some of these guys surfing for the first time. Although I don’t know if Simon Anderson himself was at the event. Thanks for posting.
PT another Aussie icon of surfing😉❤️
That was out of the ordinary
thank you Simon Anderson
