Great pic. Back in the early 1980's I had an MR swallow tail twin. I am sure its still in the attic of my parents home. He was my surfing idol in those days.

There's a tiny bit of surfer content here... enjoy. Hands down, my favorite Superbowl ad... and the music is perfect. Anyone know the song/artist?

An old one of me. I don't have any new pics now that people want to use their (crap) phones as cameras.

Nice shot Bill, kind of back dooring that section. Yowza!
It is funny how few pics most of us have from many years in the water. You are looking good there Brother. Cheers Richard |

Another local one by my friend Pat, who took most of the local photos of us surfers back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Pat went with me and Ono to Rincon, PR in 1973 on my first surf trip outside the continental US. Anyway - this one is of local legend Terry "Poker" Pressley. Poker lives 1 block away from me in the same house he's lived in since the 70's.
He's a legend on the East Coast.....and rightly so.... ![]()

Another pic from the 80's that Pat just posted - this time of Clay Lyles, one of a group from Orlando who migrated over here after finishing high school. Clay was one of the first to buy a shaping machine and still runs a business making boards. I just did some work at his house down in Bethune where he lives with his doberman, Cocoa.
We have a lot of days you could call fun. And the water is warm too. ![]() ![]()
