A seminal figure of surfing lore - could listen all day long... Thx Mike for your contribution !

😊

Mike shaped my first new board but I never knew until Bob and Bill Bahne clued me in decades later.. I worked with Curtis Hesselgrave in what is now the Belly Up in '72 and he had Mike shape me a 7'2. I sucked on it but it was beautiful especially with Curtis' airbrushung. I sure wish I still had it.

That was a COOL interview... I've never seen that before .... Thanks for posting !!

These old head gate keep surfing , not by terrorizing new people in the surf , but by making a board the price of a small used car 😂

My parents had a house at Cape St Francis. In the 1980's, people were still taking about their visit. A rare break off the Cape is also named after Bruce Brown. Sadly, the sandy bottom is mostly gone because of vegetation imported to anchor the sand blow on the shore. But the break at Seal Point, when it comes, lives up to the legend. I prefer it to Jeffreys Bay.

É 10!

Love my new Infinitely SUP Board, easily the best & funnest board I’ve ever owned! Love watching the Infinity Crew tear it up, please keep shooting these videos, it gets me fired up for the weekend. As much as I SUP surf, I’m starting to notice other surfers changing to Infinity SUP boards. You guys are clearly leading the industry, keep it up🙏🏼🤙🏼

I couldn't put Mike's book Down, action packed. I love this dude 🌊🤙

Boy are we all getting old. Mike you are a little older than me. I am now 78 you must be 80 now. Anyway I from time to time would see you out at Windansea. Anyway, you definately must have enjoyed surfing at the cape St Francis in 1962. Good memories.

What a great story! I enjoyed this immensely!

Didn't Mike used to shape for b a h n e surfboards? My favorite boards! 1966! Pacific Beach select surf shop! Phil! Was the best owner operator in San Diego surfing history!

in the sixties i briefly had a stretch model hynson with the gordonsmith decal across the square nose, was trimable from the nose only, had black slipcheck with red and black pigment: now i have a hobie phil edwards model, on which shape hynson's endless summer board was based..... quite fun and the weed enhances all aspects, read his book about hendrix and maui and making movies

What size kraken is this? 10’3”?

I gotta a surprise for you young wippersnappers. People get older and you will too. I remember Mike when he was a handsome young man, and for an old guy he's still good looking. He shaped a board for me just at the tine when long boards were becoming shorter. I didn't like the shorter board and brought it back. Mike was very gracious and let me trade for a new longboard, one that had been shaped by Dell Cannon. It was 9-foot, 10-inches and what a hotdog board that was. All that happened around 1965 or so. I never got used to the shorter boards. I'm 75 now. I don't know how old Mike is. I think he was a year or two older than me.

Sick fish. P.S. Just watch the movie. It's much faster.

Looks great!

Hynson is a hell of a good shaper, surfer, and survivor. I'm happy to have met him at a Windansea Surf Club dinner a few years back. It's very cool to hear the real story of Cape St. Francis - the wave that launched a thousand surf trips and more.

Tks show

i surf there every holiday :) feels good man

I saw "Endless Summer" at Santa Barbara High School January 1965. I was 13. My mom had to drive me and me mates to the film. Bruce Brown did the narration in person. Hammonds was going off and we scored it the next day. That was when the "Biltmore Pier" still stood. Longboards. No leg ropes. Beaver tail wetsuits. And then my mom drove us down to Rincon. It was going off 3-4 foot in the cove. 10 people out. Some of the surfer dudes had "Farmer John" wetsuits by O'Niell - the ultimate wetsuit at the time. I was riding a 9'2"Yater. I weighed about 80 pounds. And then Dora showed up. God...can I please live my life over again???

This man invented the down rail. Huge contribution to the evolution of board design.

Such a great movie. Was great hearing the story of the climax location.

2:00 on you were trespassing

My first new board was a Hynson Model (saved up for over a year to get it). Thanks Mike!

Wow! I could only listen for a minute. He has a very hard time getting the words out

Skye! love this sister

2019 and I'm not so good as you in 2012. I think I have to buy an Infinity board...

A shame the lav mic is so noisy.

.....PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!!.........

Hi what a very beautiful video of the wild parrots thanks so much for feeding them that's what I used to do when I used to live in southern California

Stay off the drugs kids....

Every surfer wanted to be Mike Hynson in the 60's, I remember Mike surfing in front of my lifeguard tower in Pacific Beach in the 70's surfing smooth on every wave he took.

Kids; stay away from resin vapors! 😎

That move at 03:00 is pretty amazing.

Gets choked up as he lives it over again. Legend.

Such a cool dude

Sub...You are a fucking Kook! Micheal is one of a kind...pure genius shaper/surfer...go ahead,follow the leader...you're a lemming...Prop's to Michael

i am interested in gray board who a man ride on. could you please teach the length and width of board in video?

check it out... This was my first PPG I'm at 2:01, well for a second. I finished in 3rd place YAY! Cant wait for PPG17!

Right in front of the folks house. Nice aerial work, nerd.

Pretty funny story... little different from that line of crap about hiking for miles over the dunes!

fantastic, but the music id?

Rad Video, I LOVE IT My daughter and I tandem surf all the time. I actually just uploaded a recent clip to my channel, check it out when you have a min. Aloha

Good show. Don't worry about negative comments. You can't even breathe air on this planet nowadays without someone saying otherwise.

Hello... I am hoping you have more footage of my daughter, you caught her at the end of her 3 mile race at 2:02 on the video. If you have her entire ride into shore that would be so cool. Thanks. you can message me on Facebook

That was taking place in California right?

You deserve much more views

This was lovely! Did she make any other videos?
