Surf's up, Bazz.

Actually it's been pretty flat for a while - typical summer conditions.....

In 1970 Rolf Aurness won the Surfing World Championship at Bells Beach and his father James Arness the Hollywood actor (he featured in the tv western drama 'Gunsmoke' as Marshall Matt Dillon) travelled with him to Victoria (Australia). The pair surfed at Bells in the lead up to the event. This footage from John Bennett's film Blue Cool shows James Arness surfing Bells on his Bing Foil.

James Arness was 6'7"! Injured his leg in WW II. He's doing pretty good on these waves!

Dude, that is some lame surf music.

Even for gremmies.

Wait................even gremmies wouldn't listen to that stuff.

(What has the world turned into?)

No blue font but I assume you're just joking, @cuda.1973 -

I thought it was very good for the footage....in fact IMHO it was perfect for that setting.

FWIW, I liked it so much that downloaded the MP3 last night and already have it in today's work playlist so I can enjoy it even more.

Old dog....new tricks......

Nope, it has someone singing and no drip reverb.

That is harder than they make it look.

Time for an update with some new material.........

Tia Ngum is finally back in the water after recovering from a surf injury. The pre-Summer South Shore season is in effect and Hawaii has been blessed with some more fun SSW swells to surf in May. Tia is also excited to show us some new things like her new lei Aloha Bikini designed by her mother who runs a women's swimwear company called Honey Girl Water Wear. The Girls are back! Summer Break is almost here and you will see some other familiar faces that have been featured on this channel.

Enjoy the beautiful surf and scenery of Hawaii!
