I only have a couple of my old sticks - I bet many surfers had very special boards they wish they had kept. For me it was always trade in my old shooter when I got a new one. I had a Nuuhiwa fish I wish I had kept, more than anything else. Very iconic board.

Surfed today, waves a little overhead, not great but we take what we can get here.
Still COLD - won't this spring EVER fire up ???!!!
It is warmer IN the water than out.
Still haven't had the car out.
Bikes , yes but COLD.

We are up to the low 70's now water temp. - you should be warmed up too by now.


Anyhow - the fellow who shaped my friends gun is named Muniz

I forget his first name - chalk it up to hypothermia - I want to say Mickey but Mickey MunOz was a whole nother animal I imagine.
Still think that is what he said;
Mickey MunIz , from San Juan.

Yeah 2 separate animals for sure. My friend is Bill Geiger and his wife's name is Becky...and they have kids. I gotta get back down there and feed my soul...
I found another pic from our '73 trip to Rincon. This is at Kuhuna's Guest House in Punta - that's his bus. I'm the third from the right. My 2 buddies who came with me are Pat Altes - far left and Jack Reilly - to my immediate right. The 2 guys on the right were from South Carolina and I don't remember who the dude is with the pan. Good times....traveling is the best part of surfing - I truly believe that...
