Thanks for your commentary, Geary. Always interesting to look back at the history of the sport.

I'm reading an autobiography of Mark Richards right now and find it fascinating to learn what goes on in the mind of someone like him - our first ever four time world champion. But his comments about the other surfers are what I find very interesting as the years went by how things progressed. Especially the parts about Tom Curren.

Great pic, Bill! It's nice to have some vintage surf pics from back in the day.....
