Thanks Baz. I enjoyed that. A lot of things I'd forgotten and a lot of things I didn't know.

My pleasure, Bill. Same for me!

FYI: I found a series of vids from "Surfers - The Movie" - posted by one of the creators of the movie itself. Pretty cool....

Great picture!

Wow! I caught myself staring at that a little too long for a man my age.

[Geary]

Gorgeous shot !!

What ever happened to the OP? Epic thread but someone is missing.

I see Mike all the time in the area, wetsuit hanging outside his apartment daily.

No thanks. If getting washed up on the rocks didn't kill me the cold would LOL

Nice swell though.

Where in Cornwall?

Cool! His brother Dan posts all the time on FB. I met Mike when he was on tour showing a surf flick called "Inspirations" back in the 70's. I helped staple posters on the telephone poles around town here. I still have one of the posters too!

Beautiful South Africa:

Decided to get a new wet suit for the spring....short sleeve spring suit - perfect for here and what I usually wear most of the time. I still have my old Aleedas and will keep them for backup.

Never had an O'Neill before.....only 2mm and feels super flexible!

Current ocean temp is a balmy 66 F.....

Check it out (l to r): Glen Winton, Buzzy Kerbox, Hans Hedemann, and Terry Richardson



LEGENDS!
