I started longboarding in 1960 in Huntington Beach (So Cal) and pretty much covered all of the California coast, with the exception of Mavericks. Every I went there the waves were at least 15 feet. (My favorite spot now is Old Man's, waves I can still handle - - also in So Cal) When I was growing up we use to get up every morning before school and head toward HB. After school we headed to Santa Anita race track. And at night cruised Bob's Big Boy and Henry's in Pasadena. Great childhood!!!
Other than 1 Dewey Weber board I have been an exclusive Gordon & Smith guy.
Since moving to Grass Valley I've only been in the water a couple of times. I've taken my teenage boys a couple of times to Santa Cruz, but again the waves were not within my ability, nor theirs'
We are trying to get a reunion together and see who has the oldest picture, oldest board, and oldest kids. I have an old German luggage rack that I use to carry my board on top of the 911 and it really gets some stares.
Thanks for the car comments. She still needs a lot of work, but if you saw what she looked like before I started you would be amazed.
