If you were part of this, you were there at the right time. The 50'S were the place to be in the surfing world. If you were there for the Simmons transition, the Velzy transition, the excellent balsa boards made by Dale, Hap, Greg, Renny. If you went to Zutes parties at Abalone cove. Did the drain on a Flexy Flyer at Wind and Sea, bleached your hair in 57, kept your board in the lockers on the Hermosa pier in the winter time, hung ten off the drain pipe at Lanuada Bay, was lucky enough to be greeted by the one and only Steak on the Fourth of July at Malibu saying you were not invited , being taken to the BU by the Greek to surf when you were to young to drive, going to Fosters Freez/Winchels on Fri and sat nights for the social scene in the Souht Bay, watching Dora go in at the Breakwater on a huge day and get the wave of the day, get out and leave, all in ten miniuts time
, go to Santa Monica City college to see Bud Browns surf movie and have Dora light the cherry bomb after Bud asked everyone to be cool. Bud walked off the stage in disgust and started the movie. TUTHILL/THERE
