Bob Simmons, Malibu, July 31st, 1949

61 years ago today.
Composite construction, foam core, dual
keel, concave planing hull.
Attack angle, planing speed etc
show relationship to the ancient finless
boards of Hawaii...a real and concrete
connection through Lord's tests in
'45.

Idiosyncrasies road trip SD-SF and back again...

This Thursday July 29th in Laguna

Patrick Trefz new flick 'Idiosyncrasies" at the Laguna
Theater this Thursday. Plus a show of his photos
and maybe some Hydro boards at the Surf Gallery
down the street. Worth it just to see Beamish stroke
into a Mav's bomb on his Pat Curren/Simmons
dual keel gun.
