THE INNER MOST LIMITS OF PURE FUN 
Filmed
By: George Greenough
Year of Production:
1970
Duration: 64 minutes
- Okay all you burnt-out hippies out there, dust off your
beads and bell-bottom wetsuits, 'cause this is a classic.
- With
a backing track supplied by a psychedelic group from the 60's called The Farm,
this is a full-on surf flick, with nothing but classic surfing.
- There
is no voice-over of any description.
- In
fact, it is almost like a home video of a bunch of mates out having a surf adventure.
- Via colourful placards, the viewer is introduced
to a variety of surfers along the way, and there's not a contest singlet in sight.
- This was shot entirely in Australia, and
at 64 minutes is only fairly short, but it's too good to pass up.
- Towards
the end you get a preview of the mind and direction of George Greenough with a
final sequence of shots from inside the tube - promise of things to come.

- The Golden Breed is a veritable who's who of surfing from
the late 60's.
- And yes, there's even a few
Aussies thrown in for good measure.
- As with
most American films, this one starts off in Hawaii.
- The
commentary is annoyingly American and all very star-spangled-banner.
- There's
a lot of big wave action and big wave wipeouts, but the Golden Breed are a tough
lot of individuals, and it takes more than a surfboard in the mouth to stop them.
- Not a bad video, except for the annoying
commentary.

Duration: 75 minutes
- Featuring names like Russell Hughes, Kevin Brennan, Midget
Farrelly, Nat Young, the mayor of Byron Bay, Bob McTavish and the late Bobby Brown,
this video features some of the best in the uncrowded breaks of places like Noosa
Heads, Angourie and Crescent Head (ah, they were the days).
- There's
a bit of international flavour with some classic footage of France and of course,
Hawaii, but for the most, the film covers a wide area of Australia and Australian
surfers.
Filmed
By: Chris Bystrom
Year
Of Production: 1993
Duration:
45 minutes
- At the start
of BLAZING LONGBOARDS (The Late) Chris Bystrom sits in front of a roaring fire
stoking it with something like lighter fluid.
- He
jokes with the audience by saying that if they paid good money to watch this movie
then they were sadly ripped off.
- It
was, of course, a joke, as the movie itself was a classic.
- Unfortunately,
the same couldn't be said for this one.
- I
don't know whether it was just my copy, but the sound is abysmal and the vision
looks like it has been grossly over-exposed.
- Too
much time is spent dwelling on one person at a time.
- It’s
all very well watching the artistry of Ray Gleave or Terry Sims; but not for ten
straight minutes.
- If you
still want to watch it, borrow a mate’s copy.

- Although

before you start looking through your collection for another flick to put on after
this one finishes.
