Larry Bertlemann

crazy to really think about the fact that the rubberman is riding a SINGLE FIN. stellar soundtrack to boot.

@three53fins, Great video, thanks for the memories!

The pics of young Ben Aipa are classic!

@three53fins, in Makiki, at Piikoi & Wilder in the Spring & Summer, work & surf South Shore, then Haleiwa during the winter for surf only.

Must be careful when I ʻtalk story,ʻ some people donʻt like it.

Really lovinʻ this video. Donʻt understand why others arenʻt

The surfing was futuristic.

The haircuts, well, they weren't.

No doubt Bertlemann was a trend setter and bar raiser. But this particular vid with it's grainyness and unsteady, shakey camera, not to mention the incessant arm flailing, well, it's almost vertigo inducing. Just sayin that might be a few reasons.

Awesome video. Who on earth would down vote that?

Its a good thing Larry is such a good surfer, otherwise he'd be such a spaz...

Love the vid. Bertleman is one of my all time faves.

Thanks for posting, great video. That's not Ben Aipa, nor is it Mike Purpus as stated in the video (ever seen Mike Purpus with a black afro?). It's all Bertleman.

Nice to see something not in HD, GoPro views. I'd like to see today's photographers accomplish the same with this old school technology. Just saying, it's not all about status updates on FB and posting video to You-T. Can't wait to see what kids say about our videos 15 years from now.
