Micky Dora "doing" Venice Beach peer - 1974


I just found this original footage of Micky Dora surfing Venice Beach and playing with the peer. It reminded me a post that wanted to do about Venice aka Dogtown.
We all saw Dogtown (Peralta’s documentary and the movie), and one of the main criticism that was made by all the real protagonist of this era is that Stacy Peralta is only showing his vision of what Zephyr was about, not Dogtown.
Remember that before Alva and co, Dogtown/Zephyr was far and foremost famous for its hardcore surfing and übber localism.
At the beginning of the documentary there is a small part on surfing. This is the same spot. Venice Beach. Rocked by another legend, Micky. Doing what he did best. Owning.
Check this interview where renowned artist Bulldog kind of straightens things out. He is one of the early dog of Dogtown.
