We're all 70 or 80 or gone on by now but what fun we had. As stoked as human's could be!
I got my first board in 1970, a 6’3” single fin. I sure wish I had had a modern board back then along with sunblock that worked. Now in my 60s after 5 decades of surfing I am in a twice yearly recall to the dermatologist having had 3 melanomas, umpteen squamous cell and a gazillion basal cell cancers removed from my tired old carcass. Of course I wouldn’t have missed it for the world and I would give both testicles to have just one more session in decent overhead waves. Unfortunately these days I can barely get to my feet when I wake up in the morning.
@@mitseraffej5812 wishing you strength and courage in your continued battle. sounds like you have a beautiful attitude. i'll do some turns for you this week.
Thank you for the footage. Makes me so sad, though. The love of money turned a paradise into a tacky strip mall surrounded by look-alike houses. Good memories that led to bad ones. Thank you for sharing
I got to see/surf Dana before harbour was built. A magnificent break and setting. I'm 72
Clarkewi : How often I bump into your comments. Got to spend some time chatting with your sister Linda at the Taft High 51 year reunion recently. Enjoyed all the photos and memories you shared.
@@donnsunderland2684 Awesome.
I as well! I'm 66 and it was in the summer of 1965.
Brother, I as well. The summer of 1965 when I was seven. The harbor was completed in 1966.
I surfed here many times during these years. Learned to surf in ‘63 at Doheny.
Glad you enjoyed it. I also started at Doho in the fall of 57. My wife , Lorna, shot most of the footage. We were dating then.
All these super stoked surfers preserved in time forever. Wonderful.
🏄.
That's where I learned to surf.
I as well ! I was 7 and it was the summer of '65 .
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting this and the effort that went into it. It’s great to have a record of how the swells broke in that cove. I can only barely remember it that way because I was about 6 when they began dropping rocks to create the harbor. I love listening to old timers talking about surfing the cove. It looks such a gentle wave that brought you in easy along those reefs. Those rights off the point were so fun to ride I’m sure.
Went to Dana Point in 1991. I can't these days. Spent my 70's summers in Newport and Huntington. Drive down Beach Blvd 39 from La Habra Heights
I drove beach bl. From La Habra to boogie board , then surf every summer.
Many memories
I helped reroof The Dana Point In, on the corner of the jetty, back in the 90's. So I basically lived there for a while.
Thank you so much for this treasure! Recently I have been watching huge swells at Pipe & the pros whom are amazing atheletes … however, back in our day things moved lots more slowly and what it was to be cool so different. The thrill of going to SanO early 60’s! Somehow watching how we were surfing back then was so exciting as the sky was the limit … where now after one hacks up a wave to tiny bits and or surfs the largest waves on the planet … seems nowhere else to take surfing.
This was before my time. I’m 69. Still love this! I always watch Endless Summer twice a year and it was before my time too. It’s my heritage!
Thank you Lorna!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Times . I was there ! FAIRWINDS!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
That's so damn cool! Thanks for sharing this! 🤙🏻
So beautiful to see it as it was.
Excellent thanks for posting 📫👍
Wowwww.🌴
Me sitting here trying to figure out if that was laguna canyon road and then the "dip" between monarch beach and salt creek
I really enjoy your videos!
The good old days before the break wall ventura had Stanley's dinner and little Rincon from cliff house to oil piers
Why did they call it Killer Dana? Was that pier just north of the point?
These guys had some money to film this in color back then. Or they came from money. No average to lower class families had these cameras! Couldn't afford them. Much less have the money to develop a reel. Not busting their balls just stating facts. I'm glad these type movies were made as it document's our great love for surfing in history! As they used to say "Two 👍 👍 Thumbs Up !!"
BRAVO ! BRAVO !!
Your assumption is COMPLETELY wrong. 35mm and 18mm film was B&W. 8mm was always color. And it was relatively cheap. The reels were small and inexpensive. We were in school when the oldest ones were filmed. We both worked, so we paid for them,. We started with a cheap plastic Kodak wind-up camera Larry received as a gift. A couple of years later, we upgraded to a battery-operated one. The two oldest movies were edited in about 1968 after we bought a reel-to-reel editor on sale. The other two were put together around 1972. The "soundtrack" was originally recorded from our record player on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. We later transferred it to cassette. Larry's family had a projector. Since we were the only ones who took movies, we ended up with it. We used to show the movies and try to "sync" the cassette to it. I later had them converted to VHS tape with the "soundtrack" added. Then these were converted to DVD. (These are also out there on CZcams. They don't have the title frames.) A couple of years ago, we had the original film re-digitized. We recreated the soundtrack as best we could. This is one of those.
Money is good. More is better. Who wants less??? Good on em.
Ironically- the ocean institute is build right where they ruined one of the most beautiful natural area of Orange County-
1960’s developers did not care one bit.
The harbor is so cheesy now. Hard to go there are walk around knowing what it destroyed
I know these midwick tract people
Yep. This is much clearer than the previous one I posted.
Smiling faces,no tattoos, leaded gas,no crowds and good roads. My has California changed.
Wow so missy, no wonder they built thearina!
Mushy & marina
@@cliffordvanrenterghem1168 Something really bad happened to Dana in 1968 and now the railroad is falling into the sea at Cotton's Point. Whoda thunk?
It's not very big...and it looks perfect for sliding on old school longboards. I think at larger sizes the hollowness improved.
Dude change title to Doheney so we can keep it old school. Dan Point harbors and jetty fucked that break
This looks just as bad as Doheny
