We received this message from Manny Caro this morning- the event keeps getting bigger and better!-

“Mike Wasch glassed the first board I ever shaped, a 5’11” round pin single fin. A pretty funky board, but a great volan glass job. Mike’s a great guy and has always been really good to me over the past few years since moving back to Santa Cruz.

I’ll be donating a 5’11" quad fish with some artwork on it to be auctioned off on the night of the fund-raiser, so be sure to come with all your friends…it should be a memorable evening.

Thanks ~ Manuel"

I visited Mike in the hospital yesterday and his attitude is great. He is going to come to the benefit. A local cab company donated a handi-cab- it will be Mike’s first field trip out and about. He is relearning how move and trying to “rewire” his nervous system so the commands form his brain reach his hands and feet. A great guy, a great attitude, it will be a great benefit show- y’all come down!

Howzit Steiny, Speaking of the Pleasure Point Night Fighters, I saw Harry Conte yesterday and he asked me if I needed any pack your trash bumper stickers and I told him I still had some. About 8 years ago he gave me a P.P.N.F. t-shirt and made me an honorary member, even got the certificate. You know we have quite a few P.P.N.F. members here on Kauai, Gene Hall,Harry Conte, Juke Weber, Reddo,Little Joe and a few I can’t remember right now. We have many ex Santa Cruz surfers here on Kauai. Aloha,Kokua

Hi Kokua- Classics all! Everytime I am visiting Kauai I run into ex-Santa Cruz characters hungry for news from home. The benefit is tonight, I hope everyone in our area shows up and shows love. We are so lucky to have surfing and each other. Warm regards, Steiny

Steiny…

While I don’t know Mike, it is obvious to that he must be a great guy. What makes Swaylocks great is the fact that its a forum made up of people who care about people. While I won’t be attending the fund raiser, I will be sending my donation.

Mike… Get better soon!!!

Thanks for caring for others!

Last night was I great event. I’m still new to the area, and didn’t know too many of the folds there or Mike, but was struck by the outpouring of support. One of my housemates grew up here, moved away, moved back, moved away, moved back again, etc. I can understand why he keeps returning to this town, people really care about each other. Last night demonstrated that perfectly. I wish Mike a speedy recovery, and wish his friends and family all the best as well.
