Skaterdater -1965 Skateboard Movie
It really doesn't matter which generation you're from, if you grew up with four wheels under your feet you'll appreciate the insane vintage longboard surf styling from this 1965 skate movie titled "Skaterdater". These kids are styling through the streets of Santa Monica with the old original clay wheels - barefoot!
If this doesn't make you want to drink their beer, what will?
It's been quite some time since surfing has been used in anything with a commercial angle that felt...well, genuine. Everytime I see surfing in a feature film, (think..'North Shore') or a television show (think "John from Cincinnati") it always falls flat.
Well, here you go. Watch, enjoy, and drink up. Hamm's that is.

Greg Noll, Butch Van Artsdalen, Mike Hynson, Mickey Dora, Jeff Hakman and many more surfing reprobates were all in attendance.
