King & Country · VNVN052 Charlie Don't Surf!
King & Country Vietnam catalog reference
VN052 “Charlie Don’t Surf!” These were the immortal words spoken by Colonel Bill Kilgore, a battalion commander in the 9th Air Cavalry Regiment in Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam epic “Apocalypse Now”. Kilgore is a surfing fanatic who loves war... and surfing. After successfully leading a helicopter assault on a coastal Viet Cong village the Colonel is delighted to find that the nearby beaches offer some excellent surfing opportunities. When one of his troopers questions the advisability of surfing near a Viet Cong stronghold Kilgore assures him that he has nothing to worry about because... “Charlie don’t surf!” A classic movie... a classic line... and a great little figure of an Air Cav Colonel who loves surfing.
