THE CALIFORNIANS Surf Film By Jamie Budge '60's-'70's

Jamie Budge Made multiple surf films in the 60's into the 70's This film started out when longboards were still the norm and then transitions into the short board revolution. At the time it was obsolete before it was even finished. But today it's a great look into how it all went down.. Finally after almost 40 years the film has been restored and layed to dvd..

This old clip makes me tear up because it brings back so many fond memories of a by- gone era of surfing which I and my friends experienced exactly as this film describes. It was so fun! and I wouldn't change it for a thing.

Great clip Here I sit in late 2022 watching this and yearning for yesteryear. For me the 70s when I started surfing on the Welsh gower coast were magical times with local legends like PJ the Welsh Gerry Lopez leading the way, atleast for me.

I surfed Malibu in those days.

Born and raised in California, always wanted to experience this! I should learn to surf... but shark attacks have been rising 😅 Anyway, listening to the Beach Boys led me here haha. Wish time travel was real!
