  2. Nice shot,
    Hey Skinny Dave, what is that fun looking board you are riding?
    Any dimensions to go with it would be cool to.

    Thanks,

  5. It's the first time i've seen that pic blown up. It's from the late seventys. Can't remember what board that was. I'll say a Hot Stuff Rabbit model. 6'2" 19.5 2.5 squash tail single fin.

  6. In the 80's Dave was surfing the little bowls on the North Side of HB Pier at low tide on a NZ swell. He was hitting the lip four ways - going left goofy foot, going left regular foot, going right goofy and going right regular . . . OK, maybe it was the seventies . . . but ripping!

  7. I think "he made it" is in Skinny Dave's handwriting.

  8. I agree with Drew, every word. The single fin Seventies were my time. The rails were the other two fins. What a great period to surf. Now's pretty good too!
