This month we’re throwin it back with the story of the first African American surfer and one of the best surf movies of all time!
5 Summer Stories: Heralded as the finest surf movie ever made, Five Summer Stories is a cultural icon, a time capsule from a watershed era when the world was at a critical crossroads and its reflection was clear in the emerging sport/art of surfing.
Against a backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Nixon years, Five Summer Stories was the culmination of the joint surf-film careers of Jim Freeman and Greg MacGillivray. Code name The Last Surfing Movie during production, the movie portrays a young, outlaw sport at a strategic point in its creative evolution—and at an historical crux in time. Now you, too, can do what audiences of the 1970s did—you can hoot and scream and go crazy
12 Miles North: The story of Nick Gabaldon’s, the first African American surfer. His story is incredible in itself – that he, a black dude who loved the beach, was willing to go against the grain and become not just a surfer but a very good surfer; that he was so into it he PADDLED 12 miles north from the Inkwell – LA’s beach ‘for black people’ – to go and surf Malibu; and that his surfing and his character immediately embedded him in the nascent surf scene that spawned a mass movement.
