The Golden Breed - Surf Movie (1968)

"The Golden Breed" ist ein Surf Klassiker aus den 60ern. Vor allem auch die Musik von Davie Allen hat den Film bekannt gemacht. Die Bildqualität lässt ein wenig zu wünschen übrig, aber ich habe schon schelchtere Filme auf yt angescaut :-)))

"Hailed as "magnificent" by the Los Angeles Times, director Dale Davis' film The Golden Breed captured surfing at the height of its longboard era. Featuring the sport's top stars, it was beautifully shot in Hawaii, California and other scenic locales. However, when the film was released in 1968, surfing was in the midst of a revolution. Australian Nat Young won the 1966 World Championship using a shortboard, which was 3 to 4 feet shorter than a longboard, allowing greater maneuverability and increased speed. This feat sparked a mass move toward shortboards, making longboards appear passé in comparison. In other words, longboards were no longer cool in 1968 and as a result, The Golden Breed quickly disappeared from theaters."
