My goal is to preserve and share these classic surf movies exactly as they were experienced—including the original VHS imperfections—while giving full credit to the filmmakers, surfers and companies who created them. If you’re involved with one of these films and have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in touch. If you enjoy these classic surf movies, please consider subscribing and help keep surfing history alive for future generations. 🤙
