Recently, Turner Classic Movies showed a bunch of Bobby Bumps shorts and I was rather impressed. While the animation is poor compared to later films, for its time, the animation is quite good and the stories rather enjoyable...mostly because usually Bobby is a bit of a jerk!
This is an unusual film because surfing was a rather unusual topic as it was still mostly confined to Hawaii and wasn't widespread. It's not surprising, then, that the surf boards folks are using at the beach look little like surfboards. Bobby is impressed and wants to surf, so he steals Goldie's ironing board and tries his hand at the sport.
As I've mentioned several times in reviews of other Bobby Bumps cartoons, Goldie is a very stereotypical black lady...the type very indicative of the time and one that no doubt will offend many today. It's not so much WHAT Goldie does...more the way she looks that will bother people. Still, despite this, the cartoon is enjoyable and Goldie is no dummy. In fact, she gets the better of Bobby and shows she can surf amazingly well herself! Worth watching and cute.
