February 16, 2008Original footage in a hard to find short movie called, “In The Mist Of Summer”. With Russ on the 3 fin Bonzer, Dan Flecky and some Billy Pells on single fins.
A great historical chronicle of how the Campbells and Russ were ahead of there time. Flecky and Pells are great surfers but Russ and his Bonzer just simply steal the show. Duncan has done a great thing by getting this back out there for all to see.
I kinda remember seeing it as a prelude to a ‘feature’ at the HB Surf theatre through clouds of Thai Stick smoke.
Thanks JP for keeping it alive as well.
