Miki Dora

[@jeffvw1994]

I spent an afternoon at Mammoth mountain skiing with Miki in 72. I was working at the resort and looked the part of a surfer but I wasn't at the time, took it up in 73. Miki was amazed i didn't know who he was but we had fun and I gave him a bit of a lesson on skiing.

That’s like the time I bagged a one line “thank you ma’am” in a scene with Meryl S.

[@shesellssanctuary1601]

Amazing video. He’s my surf hero on so many levels captured in this video. His style, his views on surf and connection to life. I got to meet him in Biarritz a couple of years before he passed on and man it’s one of the highlights of my life to meet this legend 🙏🌊

[@claytonbrown7120]

He was a racist, cruel narcissistic sociopath. Not a great person at all

[@fernandomaron87]

​@@claytonbrown7120Maybe, except racist, he lived among africans inside tribes on his quest for waves. He had lots of african friends.nHe just liked to sport swastikas to piss people like you off.

[@tinfoilhatplumber485]

Good to know others think as I do about hanging it out

This is the best video on KZbin

[@HonestJunkie]

Thanks so much for sharing this ........ I miss these times, shit was so much more simple, fun and innocent.

[@75animerox]

For sure man! Dora lives!

[@radwhack1]

Saw this flick when it debuted at the Las Palomas Theater in Encinitas (1990). A wild theater full of surfers...very reminiscent of The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 60-61. One big difference though: In those early sixties years Dora was in the last row of the theater instead of on the screen!

[@glens51]

When they had seats like couches on the sides

[@calfolk7381]

I saw the film there too 🤙🏼

[@bristleconepinus2378]

i saw it at the Civic, we used to sit in the back and flip bottle caps

[@TonkotsuFu]

From what film is this from?

[@TonkotsuFu]

Still want to know?

[@chrisfinnegan8370]

❤ Dora RIP , a National Treasure ❤

[@bristleconepinus2378]

i was probably in that shot of "the fence" if it was 61 or 62.

[@schelty9233]

That was great.

[@scottfoster3548]

Late 60`s visiting my grandma off Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park area of Los Angeles and there was big spray painted Dora Lives on the side of a local liquor store. Than becoming a surfer and realizing who he was AND watching all the Beach movies of the early 60`s NOT for the cinematic quality BUT just to see Dora. Take a look at those movies, he is in mega scenes you can pick him out TRIPPY. Dora is one of the mythic gods not corrupted by the moderns.

[@helloitsmehb]

He was a complete axe hole

[@wairoa55]

What a cool dude, and he spent time in Mahia in the late 60;s we went to his house in Mahanga

[@UncleBoobieCosmicOverlord]

As long as you didn't leave your wallet or any valuables laying about! 😂

[@lincuy3800]

yeah, yeah, i lived there with him....yikes, i learned alot.. read "the surf sting" i wrote it.....linda cuy

[@fernandomaron87]

​@@lincuy3800There's an e-book of it? I tried to buy a physical copy but they wouldn't ship to my country. The book looks killer, and with all respect, you are an absolute looker. Bet you have great memories of that era.

[@lancejackson3618]

Oh wow I didn’t know Dora visited NZ back in the day. Mahia of all places. Woulda suited his vibe I guess, makes sense 🤙🏻

Wasn't expecting this masterpiece.

[@emrhomeworks9979]

It’s hilarious that so many people bought and still buy into his line of bullsh!t 😂😂😂

[@bert_gimspon]

Hes for not buying into the bullshit of society. Whats so bullshit about that? Have you ever lived outside the norm? Doubt it. Which is why you wouldn't get it. And why are you watching this if you think hes bs? Is it because you have some bs of your own? Dont we all..

[@michaela2427]

[@jan8742]

exactly! this guy used his bullshit counter-culture persona to sell the best selling surfboard of all time, then cries about the commercialization of surfing and how crowded it was getting in. But does that stop him from promoting and selling a mass-produced board? Nah lol. Also, he was a piece of shit who ended up in jail for credit card fraud.

[@helloitsmehb]

Dora was nothing more than a common thief. An ass houle on top of that. I’ve see that guy treat completely innocent people terribly. It sad he has become a legend

[@RaulEdu33]

Miki Dora reminds me of Italian Mafia Hollywood actors 😅

Great surfer of the era but he was also selfish, dishonest, thieving racist.

[@MarcCastellsBallesta]

I've heard he had a swastika in his board. Came here to find it. Nothing

[@clarkewi]

@@MarcCastellsBallesta He was a Nazi and racist who used his friends and fans.

[@kirthgersen2485]

I just read a book about him. What an A-hole sociopath, a real dirtbag. Surprising how many people he stole from, lied to still had a positive view of him.

[@mottopanukeiku7406]

True that. Glad someone said it. Dude was a creep but a real icon. Such are many icons in sports and the arts. People take what they want and need from their icons. The bad stuff is forgotten or rationalized out.
