Lanky Hawaiian Trivia
Returns tomorrow!
I still owe base6 a prize
Fucken Lanky...
Asked me to post that pic as part of his Lanky's Hawaiian Trivia. So I did, three hours ago, and he's gone to a luau or something. Heard nothing since.
Could maybe play the game in reverse: Anyone know the answer to the question he was going to ask?
Is it the board Greg Brady was riding when he wore an unlucky tiki?
OK, just realised Greg Brady wasn't a goofy and he wasn't much chop at tow-surfing either, so I'm saying it's the first board Lopez himself used at Atom Blaster nee Jaws nee Peahi.

It's gotta have been ridden by Lopez, it's one of his shapes and he was also sponsored by Chiemsee for many years.
So I'm also saying Lopez board ridden by him in North Shore. I reckon the tow straps were retrofitted onto it.
I have a trivia question….What did Brad “ piggy “ Farmer beat a lot of Hawaiians in during the ASP years.

Either retrofitted or just a very early tow board. They were a lot longer (and arguably still should be?).

Immediately think of the Duke contests at Sunset that were covered by ABC Sport and filmed in part by helicopter.
Except the surfer doesn't have a vest on.
The helicopter would date it to, I think, early-70s. Same goes for what I can see of the board.
Hawaiian style surfing, except for the deep squat. Rules out surfers like BK. Too heavily built for James Jones.
Gonna say Clyde.

A better guess than mine old dog , looks to be to big a guy to be Brock
Ol' mate Lanky Dean is back in Hawaii. He's been sending through random photos: weird waves, good surfers, guys mowing the lawn in their thongs - all sorts of stuff.
This photo came captioned:
"Who's board is this?"
My response?
"The green gun makes me think of Winton but he never had those sponsors.
"Brock also rode green boards (or had green on them, he was born on St Patrick's day) but he mostly rode for Gotcha.
"Tom Carroll rode for Quik and O'Neill but never at the same time. Doubt he would've ridden Willis bros as he was on Rawson's from a young age.
"Liam rode Willis bros but never those sponsors.
"Dunno, Marvin Foster? Mickey Nielson?"
Wrong. The red buzzer lit up and made the 'buh-bow' sound.
