Old FWB Surf Video

[Rudyjohn]

OMG. These are so great. Tugs at my heart strings just a little. In '73 I was 16 and practically lived at the beach. Pensacola actually and I knew lots of surfers from that area.

Our "Matterhorn" was called the Sugar Bowl on the north side of Via de Luna. One of our favorite hangouts was "Innerlight" surf shop with all the Jesus freaks. ;-)

Whenever I hear The Song Remains the Same, I always think of the beach. Love all the peroxided hair.

Thanks so much for sharing these old movies. Made my day.

Here is a couple more videos by Shane-O productions. Everybody in these videos are longtime locals who grew up and went to high school at FWB and Choctaw. Very entertaining!
