This is quite a cool poster for one of the more popular surfing exploitation movies made in the 60s.

Now, I have never been a surfer. (The one time I tried, I ended up swallowing half the Pacific Ocean, I reckon). But these movies have become cult classics amongst aficionados. 

Ride The Wild Surf was, unusually, filmed in Hawaii, unlike most of the California-set beach party movies of the era. It incorporated a lot of genuine big wave surf footage and, also unusually, was a drama not a comedy. It has been called the best Hollywood surf movie of the 60s.

This poster is very much of its time and genre, and would grace any surfing fan’s wall. It is for sale here.
