One of the best, if not the best ever; I wish I was there with my paddle. One of my heroes. Everyone here should aspire to be more like Bill.

Aloha guys
Thanks so much for the nice Birthday wishes.
All is well, I just finished off a lunch of Fish Tacos from Cholo’s by eating 2 pieces of Haupia Birthday Cake with my staff…!
Got in a surf on Friday with Buttons and Marc Andreini at Chuns. That was very cool.
Went to the Van’s barbecue party on Saturday night.
Rode up to the Pipe masters on my Rockabilly fat tire bike and watched some action on Sunday.
On the way home I hung out at Banzai Skate Part for awhile talking to Kent Senator (Tore Surfboads). He used to be work for me at ProGlass.
Just chilling at my shop today Monday
Life is good!
Sorry I haven’t been participating on Swaylocks lately. I have been way busy with a bunch of projects, like getting my boat done and in the water, remodeling my shop, building boards, etc, etc. I do check out the threads from time to time. I will be back one day.
Thanks for the nice compliment Ghettorat
Aloha Bill,

Aloha Ben
Buttons still rips and is fit as ever. Jay Adams was a regular at the skate park and also around my shop as he worked next door at Cholo’s Mexican Resteraunt. But he is living in California now.
Happy Birthday Bill !
Bills signature is always a reminder to me to get up and do the next board, the next blank or the next job on the endless list of life.
How old is Bill I hear you ask… Well it’s simple to find out that number.
First place him belly up
next balance a straight stick in his middle… it will find its own level…
then read the number.

I used to hate birthdays, now they’re a something to be proud of.
Ha, Ha!.. That’s way funny Surfoils!
But as you can clearly see by the amount of candles, I am only around 10 years old.

Wow! Where do you guys find this stuff? If your date is right I was in my early 30’s depending on when the photos were taken relative to later publication.

Aloha Kirk, Next time you gotta come along!
