Cool 70s Surfer Magazine- December 1974
A friend brought in cool vintage Surfer Magazine...December 1974. What a cool read! There were some really great ads that screamed 'transition era', along with some really rad photos and killer articles! What stood out to me was an article about Uluwatu, written by Neil Stebbins that had some unreal photography, including this one of Gerry Lopez carving a nice long, left wall.

Reno Abellira wrote a great piece on surfing the North Shore and Billy Hamilton wrote about The Duke Classic, won by Larry Bertleman in "windy, 12-15 foot Sunset Beach surf. The water was extremely demanding and the riptide at its very worst." "Real hold-your-ass stuff."

There was a super cool Design Forum called Reaching for Energy...about fin evolution, the Aipa Stinger, the California Keel Fin & the flex tail. Reading these old mags, lets you see just how we got from there to where we are now...take the time to check them out if you ever get a chance.
Stay Stoked,
Eric

A little Handplane love in the shop...some new and some old.
George, from Bridge Ave. Boards dropped off a few more handplanes...1 from multi colored foam and the other 2 from many types of wood. He's a real craftsman and does an awesome job with his shaping and finish work.
A good surfing buddy, Bob Lott, dropped off his original handplane that he shaped in 1982...solid balsa. He took a Lightning Bolt hand gun and shaped himself a balsa...and rode the heck out of it! Up and down the East Coast from New Jersey to Florida...Manasquan Inlet to Sebastian Inlet...this bad boy has seen lots of waves. Quite a few Barbadoes sessions as well...pretty cool!

We went old school on this one... Movie Night was held at the Bay Head Fire House and there was a bit of an art/photography show. We played the Malloy Brother's new movie Come Hell or High Water, followed by Thomas Campbell's Sprout. One of our surfing buddies, Jimmy, is an owner of Harpoon Willys... he brought an awesome spread of eats...some really great burger and pulled pork sliders and a bunch of other appetizers! Patagonia raffled off a couple of their unbelievable wetsuits, D. Mckenna and Brian Norling Photography raffled off some awesome local surf shots, Randy donated a real nice wooden handboard and Nate a cool bodysurfing drawing...sorry if I missed anyone.
