    I used to play around on my cousins wave ski and used to try to surf on my uncles old surfboard but I much preferred the wave ski as it was easier to ride could never get my balance on a surf board.

    Surfed lots in my early teens to mid twenties at Maketu and Mount.
    Was actually more into skateboarding and invested most of my time into that.

    Probably is. But hey I'm not your dad. The guys range from 17yrs to 42yrs. This photo was taken around 1984

    Have to have a dig around. Got a few photos surfing Tamarindo, Boca Barranca and Playa Negra in Costa Rica with Robert August, Robert Weaver (Wingnut), Mark Martinson and a bunch of other old school players. Joel Tudor was supposed to show too but never saw him. I guess it was the lead up to the "Surf n Turf" competition he hosts in Tamarindo as we played golf after and combined scores. I got a signed Wingnut tee shirt.
    Learnt in the Mount before it got invaded, only longboards. The little pointy boards were for the "butt wigglers" who still look like they are trying to pull themselves silly on a surfboard. Too fat, old and tired now to be bothered plus the waves in HB are as good as the sea fishing, shit, (once you have experienced places like the Gulf of Mexico).

    Funny thing with the golf in Tamarindo, there were real live crocodilo in the water hazards. I asked the old ex pat Yank i was playing with, "who feeds them". He cooly said to me "there aint not many dogs round here boy".

    around 20 ft but Mundaka's wave as it hits the bar grows sometimes to and then pitches into a big barrel . Sadly i was never so good as to enjoy the qualities of this wave as much as i would have like to --couldn't barrel ride for shit.
    a couple of my old boards -a stnger and a single fins
