A clip of a few of the up and coming guys – Julian Wilson, Owen Wright, Laurie Towner and a few others. Filmed on the Gold Coast and the North Shore of Oahu.
The song is ‘Good Morning’ by J-Rocks Finest.

Really, who needs pornography when you have video like this? (PS – If you don’t like surfing set to hip-hop, just keep moving along.)
Here is an interview with Buttons Kaluhiokalani. Definitely one of the icons of the 1970s and 1980s. He combined the classic soul-stylin’ of a single fin with the hard carves of a thruster. As a result, he had a picture in almost every issue of Surfer and Surfing.
. . . and some gratuitous boob closeups. Keepin’ it classy at DSV.
Very impressive collection of Pipeline clips. Almost hypnotic.
When Carroll was on, he was dominant. The amount of power he generated despite his short stature was incredible. As proof of that is “The Snap” which you can see in this video.
Coco Ho a few years ago. Rhyme and rhythm . . . we got it all at DSV!
A very cool compilation of wipeouts from vintage and not-so-vintage surf films. The Style Evolution project pays homage to the immense treasure of surf movies over the past 50 years, many of which are sadly becoming rapidly unavailable due to new video formats. This short film is a collage of wipeouts from 19 surf movies from 1963 to 2005. Be on the lookout for 1) the kid who stands on someone else’s board, causes the other guy to wipeout, and then jumps back on his own board; 2) over-the-falls in a catamaran; 3) epic Wiamea and Pipeline freefall wipeouts; 4) death slabs from hell; and so much more!
