JUST AS PROMISED RANGER DAIRYWIMPLE left my name at the Doheny

State Beach Guard Gate for entrance to the Annual Doheny

Longboard Shaper's Convention. Boy, was I out of place. I know you

haven't, but have you ever mingled with all fabled board shapers in

history of surfing. Sit among Velzy, Yater, BIGKOOK, The Greek, Gordy,

Bing Copeland, doctors, lawyers, and my old friends, Alan Seymour,

Flippy Hoffman, Paul Ho;mes (Lonjboard Mag), and a crowd of great

people. The shrimp was marvie', lots of accoutrements, and plenty to

drink with BIGKOOK working the keg. Thanks for the invite everyone.
