Pretty good article in the new Surfer. Page 92. I say surprise because there is rarely anything in it to read for a guy my age. Mike
…do we get a hint , Mike ?
[some of us have to wait MONTHS for the ‘latest’ issue !]

I left it at work, but I think it could be the article on Daniel Thompson from the Byron area, and his take on fish and twins. The guy looks like he rips, on anything, and sounds like he can shape anything too. Check it out when you can.
Definitely a quality article. Touched on his personal design evolution, going from thrusters to fish, and hanging out in the forest with his ‘uncle’ GG, among other things.
worth buying the mag just for this one. Best article in the monthly mags in ages.

This one’s just sick
Timmay!
anyone interested in fish really should take a look at the quiktime clip from hydrodynamica. looks like being a very engaging film. i look forward to seeing it.
Sorry Ben,
If you can’t wait I’ll mail you a copy. Let me know. Check out the Hydrodyamica video like Oldy suggested. The guy surfs really well on a little blue fish. Anyone know when or if that video is going to be completed and released? Mike
why has it been taking so long for that movie to be finished?
got to be one of the longest “announced/hyped” projects in awhile.
Can’t wait though…
thanks Rooster! I’m picking it up today. First South of the season here!!! My fishy is just lovin’ the lined up walls!!! The vid has me ready for a long lunch today, I was kinda tired but no more!!!
You surf the way you surf, regardless if it’s on a fish, a tri, a semi gun, a gun , a log, whatever…
If you vert, you vert a fish.
If you trim and run, that’s your style on a fish.
well, I was stoked. Now I’m kinda just kinda surfing the way I surf…thanks anyway Rooster!
Alot of those pictures were in an article about the different kind of fishes in Surfers jounrnal about a year ago. They had some great photos of rasta too killing it on a 5’4" Van something or other. I wish i could throw the fins out on my fish like that.
Don’t agree with you at all on that one Lee. After having surfed the last two days- one day on a 7’-8" gun and today on a 6’-3", the moves and the lines and even the style of my surfing are completely different. The gun projects into the pocket and I’d kick stall for little cover ups and do almost drop knee cut backs. The little thruster was all about quick pumps and little swipes off the lip. Totally different.
elder cole said the words
spoke the simmons
the bear was Identified
{not the malibu hype- guy}
the miramandon la Jolla
is the real bear
is that the same brother?
so I hooked up the
Hydro dynamica reel
and sat still
my ars were crossed
to apprehend the interscholastic input
and slow ly my shoulders relaxed
and arms uncrossed
and the clinical crit slowly started up
yet I can say …yes
my senses wer vicariously pleaseed
tastefully reported
and historically
refrenced
good on the fish gang.
but they left out the rocket
hanging from the O.B. peir
…ambrose…
surfer magazine?
hard to go back…
I got a quarterly up stairs
word from those who know better than me (most everyone that it) is that Hydrodynamica is done, last edit tweaks happening and will be seeing public airing in some form or another in the next month or two. When the DVD is available I have no idea. It has some smoking footage though- Daniel and RK riding a balsa c1950 Simmons replica in big surf, nice old footage of Lis & crew, great shots of some of the proto-fishes for Chip- it seems like it will be all good.
Stay with the context.
Dude was going off vert on a fish.
Don’t matter what kind of twin fin, don’t matter what kind of tri fin, quad, or FIVE fin, dude does the same thing.
If he rides a log, maybe that changes, eh???
Next month or two. That’s great news. I’ve been looking forward to this video like no other since Mark Richards was ripping 10 foot Sunset on his 6 foot twin fin. Mike
I finally found the article after a number of page throughs. Why don't the bastards put the goddamn page #'s on the goddamn pages. It is one of numerous reasons that I long ago cancelled my subscription.
Mike, how do you know that is page 92?

Just saw your response, Roger. Funny. I found the article thumbing through it looking at the pictures. The page number was listed in the table of contents which is pretty damn hard to find because of all the advertisements. Of course,there is no page 92 in the freakin mag. I got my subscription after about a 20 year lay off. I got it through a MADD fundraiser mag drive. I’m a sucker for that shit. I was lucky to even notice it that’s why I posted this in the first place. Figured there were more people like me that just check out the photos then pass em on to the kids. Hope you and yours are doing well(the"boys"too).Mike
