Surfing Back In The Day

This photo was taken sometime in the ‘60s. If you have no idea what was going on, these are surfers performing impressive maneuvers in the Hawaii waters. Surfing was not as popular in those days it is now. While people practiced it before then, it only started to get big during the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.

Back then, surfers were linked to a hippie-like vibe. They were even called “beach bums” by some. The Surfaris, the Beach Boys, and a number of movies all helped make this culture and lifestyle mainstream.

Meanwhile, the handsome man second from the right is Patrick Swayze. With his excellent acting skills and dashing good looks, it was not a surprise that he established himself as one of the most famous actors of the decade. He has reached Hollywood legend status thanks to The Outside and Dirty Dancing.
