SURFING USA BY BEN MARCUS

IF THERE'S ANYTHING you ever wanted to know about your sport,
you'll find it in this well put together tribute to Surfing. It runs the gamut
from famous beaches, famous Hollywood types, famous musicians, notable
surf decals from Hap Jacobs to Fred Wardy. and pages filled with classic
Surf music like The Surfing Bird, Jan and Arnie to Jan Barry to Dean Torrance.
Knowing everyone here rides the board, did you know Bruce Johnson of
The Beach Boys wrote Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs" and not Manilow.
Great insights to Billy and Laird Hamilton. Do you remember who did stunt
work in Beach Party movies. Yes it's true, Mickey Munoz stunt doubled
doubled Mickey Rooney. Guadicanal movies and Bataan movie 2nd unit
stuff was filmed around Trail Six. George Freeth is older than Duke
Kahanamuko. That Hermosa Beach Hi ls Mira Costa Hi nowadays. But,
Grannis photo of Old 'Nofre is a keeper. The bocci people wish the road
is as good now as it was then. Wait'll you read about Eve Fletcher and
Marge Calhoun in Hawaii and Tarzan Smith. If you want everything from
Surf Music to 50's, 60's Surf Movie posters remember NIKE "Just do it" swoooosh!
It's all there. I don't want spill all the
beans now. Check it out before it's gone: SURFING USA.
