A young super rich handsome guy backs into a world filled with uneducated losers. My old next-door neighbor in OB was his drug dealer on Kauai, so I have heard all the stories. Check the photo credits for clues on who was greasing his PR wheel.

I knew him from New Break , my 1 st comment was no one has punched you out yet Bunker ? . A wannabe Steve Liss who touted his edge board as the next step in surf evolution.

A dumb rich guy who killed himself with dope - that does not take any talent or special qualities whatsoever, just stupidity.

Why do people find this story interesting?

I was going to rephrase as follows:
A young super rich handsome guy backs into a world filled with uneducated losers... and becomes one himself.

big family money from Hawaiian robber-baron lineage…?
hollywood step-dad connection…?
name-checked in print by miki dora…?
hanging out towards the end w/tony alva & rory russell + art brewer to take pics…? + dope…?

not the most interesting man in the world, but o.k. a for surf related fairytale…

NAh, trauma due to an inconsistent caregiver as a chiild.

Most people can handle that but some people really get fucked up by it.

The guy is hard to pin down. I guess what I find interesting about the dude more than anything was his full on commitment to being a complete lunatic once he got his inheritance.

And you can’t say he couldnt surf.

Never having to work for a living doesn't help. It does bad things to the minds of men.

I did like the movie though, even knowing how it was going to end.
He had daddy issues.

What is weird is lots of kids can grow up with money and be fine.

They can grow up with fucked up parents and be fine.

It's environment and temperament always. Things can always go either way.

I liked the movie too.

The idea of having tons of cash to travel in style in the 70s to surf seems like the stuff of young male fantasy.
