His combo of throwback style and high performance was always unique and cool to me. And his collection of boards. According to Pat O'Connell, Donavon is "the world champion of weird boards".90s in the water. He wasn't Slater but he was a damn good surfer and did a real good job of high performance surfing and keeping speed. Yeah the land affect was a bit Joe Motion but nice to have that variety in the Poor Specimen videos.
