My Surfing Videos Playlist at YouTube.

Here’s a playlist of 40 pretty random skating (as in sidewalk surfing) videos on YouTube. I never searched systematically. Obviously I find 60s and longboard films the most interesting, you don’t have to turn down the sound as much as with some of the hectic stuff.

The classic prototypical Exotica tune Taboo is taken under musical scrutiny by Randy Wong of Waitiki fame.

Nice vintage dutch footage of Hawai’i with ukulele/vocal/fiddle music. At the end there’s even some surfing, people were having fun and sharing waves.
