From before the days of: mainstream surfing; big surf brands; surf media; pop-culture surfers; car parks in front of just about every surf spot; surf reports; and satellite navigation this clip comes.
It comes from a time when surfing was really an adventure, an exploration, a journey and a story.
It's from the days when surfing really seemed pure.
It's from the days of surfing I truly wish I knew.
Please, take the time to sit back and enjoy this clip...

George, a seeming eccentric, has been credited for many innovations in surfing. If you research him a bit, you'll find he was (and still continues to be from my encounter) a radical thinker that successfully challenged many long held beliefs.

| You may recognise George's fins (which I suspect are licensed) that can be found almost everywhere. |
Even in this clip you'll see him riding waves with an early water camera used for in-water surf footage.
