Nice pic, Geary!

I think it was around '68 when I got my first board - a 9' 3" Hobie. I remember the short board revolution happening right about that time. It was a fantastic and wild time in surfing history!

I ended up cutting my Hobie down and reshaping to make my own short board. This was right after we moved to Florida in early 1970. Then I bought a new short board from Ron Jon's in Cocoa beach. It was a tri-fin Surfboards Australia for $89.00 plus tax....brand new. I thought the 3 fin option would be cool. Little did I know....
