For those of you who may be interested Damion over at the Board Collector Blog (see link below) has Cheyne Horan submitting stories (just one so far, but 3 more to come) about some of his surfboards.
1. 1979 Surfabout winner (finals held in big Bells).
2. The first of the needle nosed Lazor Zaps
3. The Waimea 5'8" board
4. The "biggest day ever" Outer Log Cabins board
That's a pretty cool site too

Love that board he used in the '79 surfabout!
great lines!
I wish Cheyne still came on Swaylocks.
Cheyne, where are you???
One of my Zap boards is on the blog. Most grateful, gee pics on the net get around!
....thanks very much Rohan !
I miss Cheyne on here , it was interesting 'talking' to him , albeit through a keyboard ...
I will go check that out , cheers !
[late edit : ] ....I just checked it , good stuff !
I'll ask my brother about the black and white shots , they look familiar ...if they are not laurie mcguiness's , they may well be "photo by simon chipper" , as he photographed larry blair and wayne lynch in the previous year[?] final ...
