Wow, I really enjoyed both of these songs, especially Point of Know Return - that's some awesome Bass VI tone! Anybody know what CD these tracks appear on? —Ivan |

It is a live track. It is up on their myspace page. I really like the songwriting, but I'd love to hear a better recording of it. Reminds me of a Cosmonauti song I really love. |

Dora was a "legend" for his surfing skills not his social skills. His biography is an interesting read. Unfortunately, he went through a number of periods where he had a tough time dealing with everyday life. To say he was eccentric is an understatement. Oh, if anyone has a Fender Jaguar Baritone Custom, Jaguar Bass VI or Fender Bass VI they want to sell, shoot me a PM or email.

much thanx guys, you all are dead on, i come form an old ca surfing family and water men and i started surfing in 1963 right at the height of whole surfing thing and i loved every thing surf,surf mags,surf books,surfboards,and surf music,i used to order super 8 surfing clips form "surfer" of dora and watched them in slow-mo while listening to the ventures surfing LP those two things have been my two biggest infrequence dora with his pure focus when he rode Malibu and the ventures song writing i think that most of the tunes on the ventures "surfing LP were written by them i know they didn't write pipeline,windy & warm,and diamonds but the rest are classic ventures tunes Facebook pages theSupertones |

I found these comments on Dora very interesting. "Mickey Dora personified the rebel-surfer; inspiring a generation to defy convention and take off on that wave. But he was also a mystery and a tangle of contradictions." "At the height of his influence, he disappeared. Did he know something about the future? Or was he on the run from his past ? Follow one man's search for the legendary Mickey Dora; what happens when a lost idol doesn't want to be found?" I was flying the helicopter along the beach in Malibu yesterday morning. Could not help thinking about "Da Kat." |
