Co-written by Milius and Dennis Aaberg, it is loosely based on their own experiences at Malibu and a short story Aaberg had published in a 1974 Surfer Magazine entitled No Pants Mance. 14pt / 20 ‒ Mixed Weights The picture stars Jan-Michael Vincent, William Katt, and Gary Busey as California surfers facing life and the Vietnam War against the backdrop of their love of surf- ing. Their surfing lives are traced from the summer of 1962 to their attempts of dodging the Vietnam War draft in 1965 including faking insanity, homosexuality, and all manner of medical ailments, and to the end of their innocence in 1968 when one of their friends is killed in Vietnam. 11pt / 17 ‒ Mixed Weights The three make the difficult transition to adulthood with parties, surf trips, marriage, and the war. The friends reunite years later, after Barlowe has served time in Vietnam, for the "Great Swell of '74." With this reunion, the transition in their lives becomes the end point of what the 1960s meant to so many as they see that the times have changed, and what was once a time of innocence is gone forever. Raised in Southern California, Milius made Big Wednesday as an homage to the time he spent in Malibu during his youth. 8pt / 12 ‒ Mixed Weights 6pt / 10 ‒ Mixed Weights Milius and his friends George Lucas and Steven Spielberg famously When I did Big Wednesday my first impressions were that I was going to do this coming-of- agreed to exchange a percentage point of Big Wednesday, Star age story with Arthurian overtones about surfers that nobody took seriously, their troubled lives made larger than life by their experience with the sea.

Although the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754­the­most­influential­people­to­ the­birth­of­surfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a high­tech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past.

They were all white women, punkers in leath- er jackets and ripped jeans who exuded the ultimate in cool. I thought of my brother as a rock star in his ability to attract so many edgy, beautiful women in a racial category that I knew at the age of nine was out of our family’s league. As unique as I thought my brother’s power of attraction to be, I learned later that numerous Asian stars rocked the stage in my brother’s world of skateboarding. A community of intoxicatingly rebellious Asian and Pacific Islander men thrived during the 1970s and 1980s within a skater world almost always characterized as white, if not blatantly racist. These men’s positioning becomes particularly notable during an era documented as a time of crippling emas- culation for Asian American men.

In the caption, he thanked everyone involved with the event for an unforgettable experience, and applauded Owen Wright S and John John Florence for their brash performances. Slater failed to specifically congratulate event‐winner Gabriel Medina, however. This perceived snub triggered an avalanche of nasty remarks, snowballing into a 1,000‐plus thread of warring comments from fans, friends, and haters. Nothing new here, of course, when it comes to the cacophonous cesspool of response that burbles below almost all content posted online: the usual dark, toxic brew of human folly, a global melting pot of sycophantic fan worship, mockingbird’s songs, troll‐thrown knives, and frat boy sexual harassment.
