Hynson interview...

...In the latest edition of Juice Magazine (surf, skate, art culture) there's a very good interview with Mr. Hynson by his old teamrider Herbie Fletcher & his wife Dibi, who spend time together living, surfing ,& shaping on the North Shore in the late 60's / early 70's, developing the 'down rail' design...a design that subsequently filtered into the hands of Pipe lurkers G. Lopez, Rory R.,etc. , that in recent years Gerry has given much credit to Mike stating '...if it wasn't for the downrailer design, we'd never had been able to ride Pipe like we did...", or something like that. Gotto your nearest book & mag pusher & check it- KNOW YOU HISTORY!!

El Sean, El Shimbawa, El Salvador...











Sean sent these pics to me this morning from his latest trip, El Salvador. Looks as if he made it Shimbawa quiver exclusive this go-round...Shaper of shimbawa's, J. Belik, is an O.G. Sunset Cliffs local from the genesis of the fish board movement, shaping around the same circles as Lis in the early 70's, & was actually on da beach to see Jeff Ching's 1st standup ride on one of Lis' fish, it don't get more close to the source than that. Nice point, nice quiver, i'm jelious....
