Interesting to know how they videod the surfing back in those times .
I vaguely recall seeing an old pic of an outrigger with a film camera mounted on it.
What amazes me about those old clips is how good the islanders looked before they fell victim to all our fats and sugar.
Couldnt agree more, i just recently acquired all these surf films and docos from the 50's and 60's and every single person is ripped and fit. Unbelievable how in 50 yrs we can **** everything. Always interesting talking to surfers from that era like ur bob mctavishes and the stories of them surfing for 8 hrs straight only to come in have a pot of lentils and a few bananas
For me the best example of how our processed western foods, and in particular corn syrup, damages both us and them is this guy.

His voice was a gift to the world and he died so young.
I think his brother also died young from a heat attack for probably the same reasons.
I think I'm about to die from a vowel overdose
