Loved it. Reno is a top guy and its great to see these kind of interviews which can really help the new generation of surfers understand how surfing got to where it is today.

Could'nt make your talk story session, but I'm stoked I got to meet and talk story with you on Super Bowl Sunday to give you the Surfer mag you were looking for. I was there to watch the '74 Smirnoff and still remember seeing Buffalo's Boston Whaler honking up the face of a feathering close out set, followed by the rest of the contestants, paddling for their lives. I feel everyone who paddled out that day should be given some kind of credit. That was your day brah. Aloha, Derek
