All of us have one favorite surfer, skater, skier or snowboarder that was just in the right spot for our evolution in the thing we live for... For me, as a young surf guy, the dude was Wayne Lynch... I think we are pretty close in age, so he was not from an older group ahead of me, but my same age group... Boards just dropped in length and the movie Evolution came out soon after... For me this is the iconic shot that was the mackdaddy of them all... I made at least a dozen boards with the same big black band and two little boxy stickers on the bottom... Today this photo has the same gut feeling for me as it did forty years ago... Damn, did i just say "forty years ago"... Holy freakin' mackeral... Hats off to Mr. Lynch for jah inspiration... SS
