SurfLungs on "The Fugitive"

Tue Mar 25, 2014 2:54 pm

- Sea Hunt Jerry saw two kids decked out in SurfLungs, masks, and fins about 8:45 minutes into this episode of The Fugitive. As a childhood SurfLung owner, I had to pass this along!

Thanks for sharing. The youngest boy using the surflung is Ron Howard's brother, and the Porsche certainly has a James Dean vibe to it.

Wow, that scene brings back memories. Here is a pic of yours truly wearing my favorite toy. Mark.

I remember these toys from being a young "Sea Hunt" fan at the tender old age of 5. Led to many a re-enactment of Mike Nelson and his famous work underwater. Miss those days...... :mrgreen:
