Fitz at Jeffrey's bay was an awesome to watch. I think everyone wanted to surf like him . Thanks Fitz.

😅

style personified

Terry is not given the credit here for his superb shaping. and surfboard design development. I worked with JR when he was glassing most Brewers and Hawks, and Terry was on the bleeding edge of design. Brewer told me, if memory serves, the modern surfboard rail came from the time Dick, Reno and Terry spent on Kauai. The thin turned down wings on ppintails that Reno and Terry were riding at Sunset were probably the fastest of the whole single fin era. Who was riding these has much to do with the speed, as the two were the speed masters of their generation. My personal copies of the design unleashed speed I'd not felt before. Terry's backside at Rocky Point with his 'screwdriver' boards was decades more advanced than most. Like big square tails, with big shark bites out of each corner. The winger concept taken to it's extreme? Terry;s love of artwork on the boards disguised the shaping for most, IMO. Both shapes and artwork were industry leading.

Wayne was an amazing surfer and is sadly missed , Definitely a true legend that will be remembered for ever .

All the innocent beautiful North Coast points and Bali we knew have become toilets for the Western World. Pity that !

A legend in his own time. One of the coolest braddah I’ve ever had the honor to know and surf with. R.I.P. my friend, and look forward to surfing again with you in heaven🙏🏽🤙🏽

Yeah Fitzy! Just found your channel. Good on ya Mate.

The true King of Kirra (not that other bloke who gets all the attention).

Ripp remember.. how.. good he was.. he draw lines like Picasso. ❤ mr dj christo.

I used to have that film.

Miss Liam😥

I remember an image of Wayne when he was at Bells from way back in 197? ( not sure) . He was at the top of the heap in pro surfing back then but still an 'underDog" which made me like him more . He was carrying a board with "the dog" sprayed on the bottom graffiti style . He was so cool . He absolutely ripped . The cutback he pulls in this video at 1:08 is still an elite turn by any measure . RIP Mr Deane .

RIP Wayne😔

He was a nice bloke and a good surfer. RIP.

Ripping

Epic style, high-lining, down the line speed, length of ride, positioning, the tube…Some of the best surfing ever done at J-bay

Sorry to say I didn't appreciate the genius of T. Fitz in '72. He was far too advanced for my limited understanding. Looking again, he is among my favorite surfers of that period. So committed, on edge, creative, and stylish. Best style. Not a learned affectation of standing tall and doing nothing at all, but moving with the wave. Only meant him once. In 1973 at his shop. He had a grinder in his hand and I told him his boards were beautiful, which I only half believed at the time. He smiled and said, "We have fun."

Love Burleigh! And his lines on that wave!

I love the way Wayne Dean surfs. rippa!

What a great ripping style. True legend of surf. Respect. Sincere condolences to the Deane family and his many friends.

The sultan of speed

Awesome waves -- it takes me back to my youth in Australia The beaches were where the waves and the girls were- I didn’t know how good I had it ❤️

I’m 40 and this is of the first surf films I can remember. The other is Filthy Habits. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful!!!

Very cool… a simple reminder as to why he is one of my favorite surfers. Thank you for this.

Top monstro

.

How beautifully motivating!! Thank you HB

That board was fast. My days in 70s

Did he ever dominate at Pipeline?

Jason Spence is a poser.

The Sultan

He was a great surfer

Bare Feet......Real Deal.

I could say but I won't!

Matt Cattle ahead of his time riding that potato chip

😇💙💙👍

wowwwwwwwwwwww

Lovely

the most elegant surfer, or my i say, human being, i've ever seen ... i'm absolutely stoked. the song is cool as well, 2 say the least

Yeh, top bloke and character, miss the surfing live!

A definite charger from that era. Remember footage from Hot Buttered at Angorie🎉

This is not a surfing movie, this is poetry

Terry Fitzgerald timeless style master. Nothing like that today with points/maneuvers based contests. No slash and burn, just perfect harmony with the wave.

Love that soundtrack. Who is playing?

I had a Hot buttered 6'10 swallow tail flyer back in 78. Man I loved that surfboard, snapped what passed for a legrope in them days when I was surfing big waves by myself, never saw it again, still makes me sad 45 years later.

Not long enough

Can’t watch this. So shaky it makes me sick.

nice Lots of great memories mate.
