1980's

I was going through some old pictures and found these...


This is VR. How about that 80's wetsuit? Nice Al Merrick with the original Astrodeck!

OK. Yes, this is me, circa 1986. That is a 6'-0" Cyclone Surfboards from Ventura. This was Jeff Bushman's label when he started to shape. He ended up moving to the North Shore to shape.

How about this geek? Yes, me again on the day of High School Graduation. This is June, 1984.

I am holding my first custom board, a 5'-10" Spindrift From Santa Barbara. Shaped by Rich Reed. I wish I had this one still and the Cyclone.
