We're so lucky that G.G. wanted to share his stoke with all of us.Watched him at Rincon when I was a grom and wanted to be just like him when I grew up. I never grew up.

Foils and rocker were what Greenough started everyone thinking about. Now its a science. Thank you George.

George is light years ahead. The mind of a scientist in the body of a searcher. He still makes an impact today. Thanks George.

He came to San Diego in the mid-to-late 60s can't remember exactly when but there was a whole group of knee borders that spent their time at a place at Sunset Cliffs which in the summertime had a great inside break called the boil. Most of us were making our own boards then and when everybody saw those spoons that he was making and how flexible they were my friends all started making those and I had the pleasure of riding many of those old spoons. So lucky to have been part of that generation of surfing and my brother and I made all of our own surfboards then. We laid up our own fins and made our own shapes . Thanksgiving of 1969 my older brother and I drove from San Diego to Santa Barbara and spent the 3-day weekend surfing perfect Rincon what's 6 to 10 ft faces and so many people out. I remember I was riding a 6 ft 3 all down rails with a diamond tail and a rounded nose and my brother was riding a 5'6 all down rails with a square nose and a diamond tail and Keel fins and all the boys at Rincon were still riding 8 ft plus boards and boy The Gauntlet that we how to walk down through on the beach the paddle out was ridiculous with all the people yelling at us. Great memories. I never owned a surfboard that I didn't make myself

I invited a girl from my high school to see this on a first date. I was stoked out of my mind, particularly seeing those inside the barrel shots. She, not so stoked. We never went out again unfortunately. But yeah, it's a surfers film for sure.

I saw this movie at the Santa Cruz Civic in 1973.We were riding inflatable rafts around here in the summer back then. I bought one with twin fins at Thrifty Drug store. Awesome flick.

@PrideofIpplepenАй бұрын
That’s the only reason I came here - I originally saw “Crystal Voyager” in the Students Union at Southampton University in England in 1975 - that was my introduction to Pink Floyd - “Echoes” remains my favourite Floyd track to this day.
@robertpoen5383Ай бұрын
My guess is copyright infringement made them take it out though the Floyd is still named in the opening credits. "New car, caviar, four star daydream..." Indeed.
