THE COSMIC CHILDREN

It's 1970 as it is. Classic days are recorded at the representative points of California with its long coastline from north to south. From San Francisco to Mexico across the border, the best part of surf trips in the 70s. In Malibu, young Donald Takayama and David Nuhiwa perfected surfing with extremely short twin fins that rise at a steep angle. You can also see the exemplary riding of Hal (the predecessor of the egg board with thin rails that appeared simultaneously in California and Sydney after 1967, which is set with thin, long, and flexible fins developed by Greenough). Even so, Malibu, Topanga, and Huntington were crowded with people even back then. Instead, if you went south, you could enjoy a foreign country in remote Mexico. Unknown waves, people, culture, and friendship. The origins of surfing and rip are depicted. Surfers instinctively appeal to themselves with different styles and lines, dancing on the waves, and sometimes inside them. It's a dance of the soul. Surfing is celebrated as a symbol of freedom, but we live in an age where contests are frequently held to satisfy human desires, to see who can ride the waves the best.
