» Divine, dude
The 70s birthed a new generation of surfers, with a new language, new attitude and – with the advent of the short board – a new way of surfing. Staff photographer with Surfer magazine, Jeff Divine made 35 trips to the North Shore, documenting the decade of hippies, long hair, Mexican wedding shirts, bell-bottoms, Santana, Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, hallucinogenic drugs, free love, post-Vietnam disillusioned youth, and garage-made surfboards – the pride and joy of these surfers.
Divine used the wonderfully saturated and warm Kodachrome slide film to capture the era before it dived headlong into the mainstream.
