Trade Wind: The Wavesailing FIlm

Jan 01, 1983Back in 1983 there were still waves men were forbidden from riding.

Kong’s Island is The Three Stooges Gone Surfing, with Rabbit Bartholomew, Chappy Jennings, and Gary “Kong” Elkerton getting barreled silly. It’s such a classic it was featured for the crowd at the 13th annual Surfilm Festibal in San Sebastian. This is one you must watch and reminisce.
