skybill 22 #28 December 9, 2009 Quote Quote Hi #528, No kidding!! The movie (Beach Blanket Bingo) was at the Ritz Theater and after jumping on Saturday, we (Southland Skydivers) all went to the flick! First canopy opening and it was a "Cheapo!!" Leon Riche yells out,"What No P-C's!!!" (Para Commander) I think the year was 1965. Frankie and Annette hitting the surf and silk!!! You mean this past Saturday!?..... or some Saturday way back in 1965? Hi #528, It was a ...Long.....Long...time ago...in a Galaxy....far....far....away...! Talk about a "Time Warp!!" Yup, summer of '65.... Long Boards and Round Parachutes!! Funny how that goes.

1969912 0 #29 December 10, 2009 Quote Quote ............................. Yup that's me. In mid-'65 there was this very small ad for this surfing movie being shown at a local high school. I thought 'What the heck' & found one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. IMO, it is the ONLY surfing movie....................................... Yep, all the rest are just movies with surfing scenes in them. "Endless Summer" really was a great flick but I'm not going to go find it and watch it in case my memory is making it a better flick than it really was. That's kind of where I'm at with my interest in surfing films that give details re: history, personalities, trivia, etc. Riding Giants and Waveriders are both rich in those.

murrays 0 #31 December 17, 2009 After reading this thread I bought DVDs of a couple of the movies mentioned...Extreme Summer and Busting Down The Door. Extreme Summer is not one I would recommend spending money on but Busting Down the Door is one I would recommend. I know nothing about surfing or the personalities and BDTD is a great documentary with lots of fine surfing footage. I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, I just finished watching it...I put it in the drive thinking I'd check out a few minutes before heading off to bed and now it's 1 in the morning and I watched the whole thing through...I just couldn't stop watching it.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #32 December 18, 2009 Awesome! I'm stoked you enjoyed it. Shaun Thompson is a bit of a legend over here in South Africa. We all used to have posters of him on our walls when we were kids, in fact I had a signed one that was my prize possession for many years. I wish i could get hold of BDTD on DVD over here, i'm hoping they release it sometime in the New Year. Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
