This is on my silver bullet 8’6". I miss that board, a remake may be in order.
You can see my friend paddling out on the inside classic OB.

Bill and Kokua, is there any chance Tex would have been on Oahu over the summer? i surfed with a big old guy that introduced himself as Tex and said he had been on Hawaii since birth. He rode like an 11 foot board with a carbon fiber nose and surfed really well. He looked like a stereotypical big hawaiian dude that could take names and kick ass but was one of the nicest guys ive ever met. Problem is, I dont know his last name. I was surfing with an eye surgeon from Honolulu by the name of Malcolm Ing if that helps any. Maybe the same guy? or maybe a different Tex.

Yep, a different Tex. Tex Wilson is from La Jolla. I think he moved to Hawaii about 1964 +/- one year.
got it. thanks
Nice Barrell!

Bump.
Howzit scboy, Agree with Bill since the Tex we referring to is a Haole not a Hawn. Aloha,Kokua
40’ by 30’ HPD-style ply Paipo!
Thats an awesome looking ‘out of the tube photo’ thirdshade!!
Home: 6’2’’ x 18 1/2’’ x 2 5/16’’ swallow tail…not very exciting but…
Away: 6’10’’ x 18 1/4’’ x 2 1/2’‘. All my other boards broke in the first week of the trip so I had to ride the 6’10’’ in everything for the next 7weeks whilst being marooned on an island. Learnt how to ride what was for me a big board.
those are some really nice waves people… kudus!
Hey B.T. and Kokua, How 'bout this Tex,? Fireman, North Shore, many yrs? Lived up in Pupukea?
Howzit tblank, The Tex I am talking about has been on Kauai since before I got here in 73' and never heard of him being a fireman. Aloha,Kokua
sick shots Marsh!
HaH! Mr. Chrisp I was thinking the same thing. I love Hawaiian waves. Even the little ones have enough push to allow you to push back. Used to love to watch the guys at Velzyland, lots of H_A_R_D turns there: Buttons, Rubberman, Junior M. and a ton of guys you'll never know or hear of ripping.
(In response to the photos of CarveNalu on the stand up, And Chrisp's comment)
I don’t really have any of me, as I’m generally the one with the camera…but here’s one of my boards on a mushy day at Pleasure Point…my friend Dangerboy is the rider.
