Surfing and Nostalgia - Special Six of 1962 and 1999
Surf Shop found this great little gem of a video while searching Coastwatch Archives about what could be described as the
Surfing and Nostalgia – 1964 and 1999.
The archival footage shows the arrival of the special six surfer guys back in 1964, to compete in the World Surfing Titles held at Manly Beach all dressed up in suits.
The main part of the story’s footage was shot at the 1999 Noosa Festival of Surfing, to record for posterity the fun and aloha spirit of the last five survivors of the ’64 event. These guys showed us though a little older, they still had what it takes. Their age did not hinder their abilities and a great show was put on.
Joey Cabell turned 70 in Dec 08, the others weren’t so forth coming with their ages but enough said Mike Doyle and LJ Richards are best of mates and still go surfing, diving, snowboarding, and sailing together, where Mick Dooley and Midget F. still live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, and still surf when ever possible.
