I have owned and memorized probably every issue of every surf magazine since 1962. I am a little sorry to admit that.Two for two!

I think titus, tiger and BK were pretty tight back then when BK started shaping
surprised no picture of booby
You know there are a lot of magazines I know I had but didn't find in my stacks. One I was looking for but couldn't find was James Jones'- "Tuberiding Waimea."
Also, another period specific quality of the picture of Titus is, he's competing in one of the biggest pro contests of the time (The Smirnoff) and he has no sponsor logos on his board. Even his board seems without a logo. Might be on the bottom.

Hermosa Beach ~ Mike Purpus, in the middle of photo
Hi Peter!
I know you well know the backyard of Doc's house that was once home to Dru Harrison and David Nuuhiwa.
Chris Barela, Mike Benevidez, Mike Purpus, the turkeys and Terry Stevens RIP. It sure looks like Bobby Burchell on the left but I don't remember him being there and that Infinity board must not be his. He was riding Chris Hawk Surfboards before Hurley.
Stingers! And Mike Benevidez is wearing Bayley suit. I had both at the time. Bayley suits were such good suits.First taped wetsuits. I remember they were custom. I went to ET and they took about twenty measurements. Perfect fit.
Great pic. I should try and get Purpus to post on the erBB. He has such great stories. But one tip- if you're really itching to surf and you see him, don't stop to chat. I mean, you can't just walk away from a legend when his talking story, right?
H-Bay.....remember ditching class this day. Too big for my small balls. The pros would only jump on the plane if the NS was closing out and konas was blowing. Usually H-Bay or the spot around the bend would be 6-8. One other ditch day which I think was smaller than the pic....it was 4-6 and saw Reno and Owl ripping it up. I was in total awe!!!!
Yeah, I finally found the article-couple of James "Booby"Jones
He was the "man" back then
