"Up until the day
he died, Body Glove co-founder Bob Meistrell had the chance to do what
he loved: power his 72-foot yacht, the Disappearance, in the waters off
Southern California.
Meistrell, a surfing and diving legend who started
making insulated wet suits decades ago with his identical twin brother,
Bill, suffered a heart attack Sunday morning while leading a paddleboard
race off Catalina Island, said his son, Robbie. The Torrance man was
84."
Howzit DEADSHAPER, I bought my first bevertail wet suit from his Dive store. For some reason the name " Dive and Surf " come to my mind when I try to remember thier diving store where they also taught diving. The other thing is Santa Fe Springs and I wonder if that was where it was. Great men him and his brother.Aloha,Kokua
