Old guys getting glassy uncrowded waves. It's like "sittin' on top of the world."

Hangin Ten!

What model Stewart is that?

Looks like everything is forced and nothing is smooth guess that's what happens when you're a douche 😂

Exceptional Long boarder!!!

What's the song? Sounds like Joe Satriani...

Superlative surfing skills! BTW, could you please tell me who plays that amazing song?

Someone get my mans a short board 🔥

A heels on a high pro board with a leash on not something you see everyday

Stale

That jet ski was going fast!

This is amazing! Using every part of the board. Blending the noseriding with high performance. You're the best Tony!!

This is so sick! Surfing the board you want, doing it the way you want. This is what it’s all about.

Is that joe turpel on the mic

Ride that log which ever way u want .no one has the right to judge .fakah

In 1973 Mike and Dan Merkel came up to Vancouver Island and visited the Long Beach area near Tofino. Don't think they got much in the way of surf and I was there, but one of the locals chatted Mike up and later that year looked Mike up at home in California. Mike was a really good surfer and I still recall the photo in the Extra section of Surfer magazine where Mike is laid out in a really hard cutback. The caption was that Mike called it "the second best cutback he'd ever done." Great to see him still getting wet. Take care.

I remember being out at the break wall in the winter of 69-70 and surfed with him .

I recall one gloomy overcast day sitting and watching big rough rincon with a strong wind blowing causing really gnarly conditions. Maybe a half dozen cars sitting along the road edge, but nobody wanting to go out at all. A car pulls up and Mike Purpus quickly paddled out. He just ripped the place and the only guy out the whole time. Almost a lifetime ago, but the memory still impresses to this day. Mike was a talented great surfer in those days, no doubt about it.

If your going to ride a Longboard like a shortboard, just ride a shortboard, he did like two Nose rides.

Surfing is insane but this song is so whack.

Purpose looks pretty good considering he's out of shape. He was one of the best California surfers in the seventies. His north shore surfing was inspiring, as he did the same cutbacks he's doing here in 12 foot Sunset.

Way Cool! Loved the switchback. Glad to see he is still surfing. Sad to Say I haven't surfed in over 20yrs.

Kid rips, loved surfing with him in Wilmington, NC in 05-08,,, loved the air at 2:20 ish,,, that's wat I'm here for, true progressive long boarding, screw that smooth stuff, power power power

Looks fun

Cool, I haven't seen Purpus surf since the late 60's in Hermosa Beach and at that time he was one of the top surfers in California a genuine bushy blonde surf god... good for him to be still surfing those South Bay spots

Thanks, I see them at the end, thanks again!!

Very nice video, could we please get some music credits? I love the vid and the tunes!

I'm glad to see Mike Purpus still surfing. He was pretty big back in the late 70's when I started surfing. Very cool.
