Interesting early surf memories by one of the first surf photographers
Plenty of knee paddling on huge, dangerous boards  ;)

That was fun to watch. A lot of those names a breaks are part of where I grew up and still live today. Whitey Harrison's name and influence in surfing and outriggers is always brought up in local San Clemente and Dana Point historical pieces and presentations. I didn't personally know him, but seeing the film brings him and others like Tom Blake to life. Thanks' for sharing that Creek.
