Breathholding contest in La Jolla?
- Thread starter SlicedFeet
- Start date
Hasley, who recruited the old club, screen printed all of our Windansea gear. The hats, tee shirts, and those "Surf or Die" windbreakers. Bill Andrews was always there too. Steve Shaw, an Attorney, was part of the old club and played a huge role in getting the new club's name copyrighted. Steve wrote the surfboard builders manual, the 1964 and 1969 editions. I was in charge of the competition team, and we put the new club back on the map.

There's about 200 guys from New Jersey and Texas that disagree with you.
I gave Eddie Rothman a ride to Scorpion Bay from Loreto airport 10 yrs ago and we had a deep conversation about localism and outsiders that try to infiltrate local spots. I told him that I'm from Jersey and have been surfing Windansea/Simmons since 96. He said "You evah receve cracks?" I said no never, I know my place and respect the locals. He then goes on to tell me how he would instruct his NS minions to give "false cracks" to anyone they didn't recognize that would even so look at them the wrong way. I hesitantly asked "how does that work for a guy coming from Philadelphia?" He looked at me with a half grin and a deep stomach gurgle while belching out an incoherent response. That was the closest I probably ever came to a "false crack" without even really knowing it!
Hilarious
When I was living in LJ I used to surf the reefs on the regular.
Never had any issue at any of them. Of course, like you, I know my place.
I'm sure it was different back in the day.
People leave out Eddie was not just part of the Hui. He was a major criminal and ran a syndicate that was destroying the north shore through the 70s-90s.
don’t believe me?
they call him “Fast Eddie” cause no one ever could pin him.
Which makes it even more ridiculous when his dipshit son keeps speaking about “Hawaii is for Hawaiians and not transplants”schtick during his recent campaign for a state Rep seat.
Absolutely wild considering his own pops Eddie is responsible for destroying innumerable local families and substance abuse among native Hawaiians.
I think if people understood the real Eddie Rothman and what he did to Hawaii, people would hate him and Makua would be a nobody.
Side note-Makua same age as me and my entire life he’s always been a huge pussy hiding behind his dad. He’d catch cracks and run home to daddy (a la TJ Barron incident in 2010).
Likely they didn't want to - he was an informant.People leave out Eddie was not just part of the Hui. He was a major criminal and ran a syndicate that was destroying the north shore through the 70s-90s.

Yeah. I knew Hasley and Thor and the old Wind n' Sea Club folks when I lived with Butch in PB and Larry and Floyd had their shop just up from the PB Pier. Barry Kanaiaupuni showed up about a year later and went to Mission Bay High, I believe.
Thanks Joe ~
One of the strangest stories in surfing, where’d did he pickup the pidgin?

No he absolutely was not an informant.
Similar to other syndicates- its extremely difficult to charge the leader.
Sorry. I never got the story ~ Butch, was a fighter. Never backed down. Straight ahead guy.I read story BK had akward reunion with Butch in SD after a little island style regulation with BK and crew
Last time I saw Santiago was at Playa Hermosa years later. He was enjoying life. That night was some crazy partying and our crew thought it best to scoot from Jaco. Many years have passed since…
That’s a great pic for memories!
Wonder what happened to next door neighbor Gary…
Janet… she was a PhD in physics or something? She had it all going on!
False cracks = intimidation and threats/warnings/directions on leaving but not an actual beating?
I have a couple good friends from Philly they are both a little territorial now that I think of it.
