Two fo my all time AUS favorites other than lynch and terry F.
Giant Simon’s backside layback in the tube and Kong’s handjive always made more sense to me than lopez’s bend wrist hair flick kick out or MR’s pidgin toed style.
...HI Bernie !
Thanks , good to hear !
....that would be WAYNE , not barton , eh ?
yep , I want / hope someone produces a Wayne Lynch book next [?] ... [ he has ALWAYS had MUCH to contribute , design and surfing wise ! ]
have you read the Thrust book ?
it's a nicely produced book , the "Surfing World" magazine's [ past ] crew did a great job , as usual !
[ photographers Bruce Channon , Hugh McCleod , Peter Crawford [R.I.P.] , and Bill Macausland , always did really nice work !]
cheers !
