Surfing and psychedelics always mixed well, from Santa Cruz to the rest of the US pacific shore. A MAPS bulletin article about psychedelics and extreme sports one touched upon the whole surfer-psychedelic connection in depth, and it tuns out some surfers have been able to reach exceptional surfing abilities by combining surfing and the use of psychedelics. I can’t imagine how it feels to surf inside a wave, while on a psychedelic, but it certainly looks amazing.

Gong – Dynamite and other unbelievable psychedelic 1970s gems from Gong
13 AugThat the 1970s were one helluva crazy ass time, becomes immediately obvious to anyone watching these videos by Gong. It’s hard to believe that such far-out performances were ever allowed on national television, much less that they garnered international success. What’s more, its hard to imagine anything like this going on national television these days. These four videos by Gong show the full creative madness of Gong wizard Daevid Allen, who passed away last year, an inspiring reality hacker, if there ever was one.
This is what his son Orlando Monday Allen wrote to upon Allen’s death.
“And so dada Ali, bert camembert, the dingo Virgin, divided alien and his other 12 selves prepare to pass up the oily way and back to the planet of love. And I rejoice and give thanks. Thanks to you dear dear daevid for introducing me to my family of magick brothers and mystic sisters, for revealing the mysteries, you were the master builder but now have made us all the master builders. As the eternal wheel turns we will continue your message of love and pass it around. We are all one, we are all gong. Rest well my friend, float off on our ocean of love. The gong vibration will forever sound and its vibration will always lift and enhance. You have left such a beautiful legacy and we will make sure it forever shines in our children and their children. Now is the happiest time of yr life. Blessed be”
DAEVID ALLEN, 1938-2015, RIP
