I need Reference!

Josh_Singh

I cant find reference of 80's surf clothing anywhere!! Ive googled, checked every reference thread on all the forums. Anybody please! If you have or know of where to get reference of 80's surf clothes and styles please post them! Thank you so much.

hhhhmm, how about renting some DVD's from that era Josh? I guess Point Break is a bit late, and not being a surfing afficianado, there must be some surf movies from that era surely? Try: http://www.imdb.com/find?q=surfing;tt=on;nm=on;mx=20

Back to the Beach and Summer School are ones that immediately come to mind for having 80s surfer elements to them.

I wasn't able to find any sort of gallery, but searching Google or Yahoo images for selective phrases might help. Try "body glove", "ocean pacific" or "ron jon's" (there are probably a lot more, but my 80s memories are fuzzy at best...)

Thanks guys, it looks like I might just need to hit some dvds for ref.

Don't forget Jeff Spiccoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High...

Billabong was also a surf wear provider, you could also check for archives of Surf magazine, they always had lots of pictures of retail merchandise in the magazines.
