The King of Fin-changes



Gonna miss the bastard, his terrible jokes not so much. Mr. Health Store, he once threw an entire rain forest of vegetation into a blender and tried to give me some of the horrible green concoction. For some reason he thought that was a good thing to do....

A great longboarder who was constantly changing and adjusting his fin setups. You could hear my eyes roll in my head when he did this for the 40th time. He's taken a lot of crap for those rubber tipped fins too over the years. Recently the boys named a big left "Kiwi's" after he charged it, that should stick! Won't miss paddle battling him either, now that I think about it.

Mobile Madness will hardly be the same without that Subaru parked outside of it and Mark crashed out on the couch.... Or the south lot for that matter with his tea brewing or wetsuit drying on a hanger.

Off to Enzed and then Oz....... Cheers and good luck mate!

You got contact info for him for any NW surfers who happen to find their way to that part of the planet? I'm going to miss his chain-smoking, quiet, watchful....uh.. associate who he would occasionally bring to the beach.

Right at home at the gimcrack? he won't be mistaken for one of the inmates will he?

Ah yes PK......"The Waxer" we will all miss his unique and charming prescence at the beach and yes we have a way to get in touch with the Kiwi if you end up heading that way.

Nursie, see the above reference in regards "The Waxer", sometimes there is a fine line between inmate and jailer, I mean caregiver!!
