A recent episode of Surf Splendor with Paul Schmidt (shaper from NY) went into detail about his recent years. Things were not good for Pat.He and Tom have this aura of mystique around them that's just irresistible. What exactly WAS he doing between, say, 1965 and now? Did he have a straight job? Was he surfing a lot? Not at all? Who knows. Only Pat probably knows and he isn't talking.
(I suspect the truth is fairly mundane but it's fun to speculate.)
