Probably the first time I saw Kekoa Bacalso surf. I think I was 13 and he was 10. Any adult doesn't count at that age, but when you see someone younger than you do 900 turns in 3 hours, you know you're seeing something unique.There was a question on the ”Nine Club” recently about when was the first time you really noticed you were in the presence of a “professional skateboarder “. I thought at that time it would fit here. Please go at it ERBB rippers!

I grew up with the Buena Pool 5 minutes from my house. Salba, Keith Meek, Ricky Stiles and most importantly Andy Roy. Andy and I had the same schedule with school.Watching Tony Hawk and Kevin Stabb skate the keyhole at Del Mar Skate Ranch in 1985/86.
Not the right thread for this.Skateboarders

Mine was seeing sunset on a big north swell. I think it was 1998/99 winter.Probably the first time I saw Kekoa Bacalso surf. I think I was 13 and he was 10.

My main surf partners during my senior year of high school were Tamayo Perry and Pancho Sullivan. It was humbling, every day.Probably the first time I saw Kekoa Bacalso surf.

Bruce, Andy, Kelly.... don't stand a chance against Jimbo.It's all personal opinion but to me he wasn't the best surfer in his prime. He was great...one of the best. Unfortunately Bruces prime coincided with Kelly's freakishly long prime. Bruce surfed with a little less power than Andy but with a better air game. Andy was a better barrel rider. Andy was a better complete surfer. Watching Andy surf J-bay was incredible. I will say Bruces style was much more casual than Andys and that's a good look. For me, he never lived up the the hype of the Bruce movie.
is he still alive?Bruce, Andy, Kelly.... don't stand a chance against Jimbo.
Jimbo returned to Kauai after loosing his arm. I think there was a photo of him picking up a new Brewer a year or two and some back. Not sure where he might be. I went to high school with his Dad when I lived in California decades back. He did want .... to get back in the ocean.is he still alive?
Living here on Kaua'i, one gets spoiled and ya take things for granted sometimes. Nothing to reign you in and check you. Andy and Bruce were phenoms. One can be sidetracked here, very easily.Bruce always pissed me off. The guy had talent, drive, style, marketability etc., then just threw it all away around age 25. I'm sure watching Andy's decline and death were traumatic but even before that he just seemed to not appreciate at all what he had.
