John Mel shaped my first board, but I saw the movie anyway. It was one of the films shown recently at the Santa Barbara film festival.

Oh, the film is worth seeing. It is very cool to see guys that live and breath what they do for a living.

Glen D'arcy

It was a beauty. 6'6" thruster with mad 80's graphics and colours. 24 years ago :shock:

It would sink if I tried to paddle it out these days.
