cheers huie
can you believe what you read in the ''papers?
duh NO. midgit reins supreme as the real deal.
whilst the media darlings have bloomed and wilted
and sucked at the marrow of the sub culture surfing
to little more than whatever they got as the ‘‘girl in the red dress’’.
the last shall be first ,and the first shall be last.
has midget’s time to return to his propper respected place
after all the pretenders have had their moment.
…ambrose…
hey kid ,dewey was buster brown,
velzy was Velzy.
When things become competitive, there are those who will do and say whatever they must to win.
Truth be damned…
Finally ; The truth reigns. I have a copy of “The Surfing Life” and have watched and re-watch the Dale Davis footage of Midget all the time. An original that was shunned by the country club in Dana Point.and San Clemente’s media. Lowel
…if he had been raised in California the things would be different.
i think you’re right Reverb
I’m sure things would be differant for Reverb had he been born in Calif. as well.
I love the video sequence at 1:27 - 1:40. A modern day surfer would make twice as many turns on the same wave and look half as good doing it.
…Mcding, we all know about California-surfing-marketing.etc
and several times in several places the guy who cuts the mustard told me something like " your work is right but you are not from California and we work with that marketing stuff (read: hype)…"
Look at those French guys, a laminator and a polisher; they went up after M Biolos took care…
anyway, very good riding style
Seriously man; You should give Cali. a try. Come on up and hook up with one of the factories. Get your name out there. Increase your market share. If I was twenty years younger and didn’t have an old lady; I’d be down in the OC tomorrow. Shapinmg, sanding. Hell nI’d go to work for Aqua… Lowel
I like to visit. 'dats about it. I’ll keep to the small sharks and warm water with little waves.
Trestles is not in San Clemente. Don’t ask the ASP. Trestles is not even in the same County as San Clemente…no…Trestles is just south of the County line in San Diego County. Trestles is not really in a city at all. It’s part of San Onofre State Beach…and the Marines actually own that beach…but don’t let the public know…Rock on…deal with the hype or join it…
