Auction History Result 5r0347 BLUE SURFARI 1sh 1969 cool artwork of surfers, Ricky Grigg, dune buggy! Date Sold 12/21/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Blue Surfari, the 1969 Milton Blair surfing documentary ("It's all new!"; "See surfers ride the largest waves ever filmed around the world"; "Hilarious snow antics by champ surfers"; "Surf Queen Pageant!"; "Take a wild ride in a dune buggy!"; "All in living color"; narrated by Hal Buckley) starring Ricky Grigg ("World Surfing Champion"), Greg Noll ("Worlds Foremost High Wave Rider"), Sue Peterson ("Miss Teenage Fair"), John Teague, and Frenchie. Note that this film was first released as "Surfari" in 1967, but we have never seen any promotional material for this release except for newspaper ads from New York. We suspect that it had a very limited release in 1967 (perhaps just in New York), and only had a wide release in 1969 as "Blue Surfari". A knowledgeable collector tells us that this film "is a mish-mash of older footage shot over the previous years, as a result, serious surfers took little notice of it because the footage was out-dated, although most of the surfers were highly credentialed at the time. Its one saving grace is that the giant wave that was famous in the opening credits of the original Hawaii Five-O television series was lifted from this film's footage." If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster has light fold and border wear. There are light oval-shaped creases along portions of the vertical foldline (see our image) that were caused by the machine folding process itself (so they are not a defect). Overall it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
