Good work Baz

Have you got room for Lacey Baz?

Second thoughts Mac ...Lacey is a lightly built thin body type ....will fit nicely between the 10 fter & the 9.6 ..will just need longer tie downs ..does he have any ..?

Bazz you obviously know LL well, he was the runt of the litter

Mac was the oversized boofhead of the litter.
Pretty obvious

Lacy heading South ..?

Getting a hard nosed guy like lacey to attend a weekend full of fun, surfing and drinking would be impossible.

oh and the juju is on it's way in now with tide pushing back in - 2-3pm arvo session on the cards

Nar bazz. Done heaps for wave chasing in my time.
Used up all my kilometres


Its interesting that macs not going .

He has all these flimsy excuses not to go. Yet has the hide to but cr#p on me for not going.
At least im honest


Ps might be some waves weekend boys

I just think it would be good for you to meet like minded people, you and SA could talk boards for days and days.
You would have a great time down there Lacey call it a modern day road trip you old bugger

It comes from Elephant gun..

Started with Greg Noll.

I've got as far as 1952, with "Buzzy" Trent at Makaha - "Big-wave boards in general, Trent declared, were "guns."

Sorry my instant recall was off. It was a Buzzy Trent quote, I thought it was Noll.

Don't care who it was, I would like that board, even if I couldn't ride it.
Not trying to nit pick details either, great to get an informed answer.
Enjoying the read a lot.

Yeah it looks like a weapon. I'd guess it would be worth a small fortune now if it survived. I think Greg Noll's famous Makaha gun is the most expensive board ever sold when it was sold at a collectors auction.
I grabbed that page from Matt Warsaws book, History of Surfing or something it is called. It's a really good read. So is his website Encyclopaedia of Surfing, well until a month or so ago when he made you start paying.

The switchfoot books from Hodad are really good from an Aussie perspective.

And any of the old guys that lived through it Biographies are good, i'm just about to order the Dale Velzy book.

Enjoy yourselves boys.
