The footage from Evolution tends to dominate our memories of this event, but the US television coverage on ABC was more thorough. It shows some neat hull surfing here and there.
The waves were atrocious for the boards they were riding -- or vice versa -- and a lot of credit has to be given to the riders as they soldier on in the face of some shapeless, warbly junk.
This is Part One of the coverage. Not sure if Part Two is online...I can't find it.
Even though Nat Young and Wayne Lynch were riding first-gen, pulled-in roundtails, their boards still had V in the back half. You can see the V of Nat's board parting the water in the middle shot below...
