I looked for an old man surfing video but all I could find was an old drunk man falling down in the surf and mooning everyone

Nice to see footage from when I began surfing just two years after the Malibu chip, balsa board was brought to Australia by California Lifeguards and Surfers Greg Noll,Tommy Zahn ( who date dated Norma Jean before she was Marilyn Munro). The lifeguards came out for the Melbourne Olympic games in 1956 . I started surfing in1958.
Quick crank up the zimmerframe with board racks I'm getting nostalgic.
