I really wish I had taken more pics of people I knew through surfing through the years. You really don't look at things when you are young the same way as later down the road. Here's one from my slide collection of a guy we knew from surfing named John (or Jon maybe) Barnes. Lucky I can remember his name as there are others I do not. For some reason I did get his pic that day.....
Wherever you are I hope you are doing well, my old friend.
Taken July 1975
