Living on Maui during the 70’s was awesome to say the least! Surfing Honolua Bay with only 20 or 30 of the best surfers in the world, I got to learn so much about what worked and what didn’t very quickly. Every day I lived for surf and at night I washed dishes and worked on my shaping.
I got to work with Wayno, Gerry Lopez, Eldo, John Sewl and the master Bob “OLE” Olson, who taught me the secret of flow. Not just in surfing but in life. Mahalo Bob.
Since coming to Australia in 1980 I have worked for Cooper Surfboards, Rip Curl, Nat Young, Islantis Surfboards, Piping Hot, Island Surfboards, Balin, Mike Davis Surfboards, Peter Whites Classic Malibu and Strapper Surfboards. All the time I still made boards under my own label Friedman Flyers.
I’m still as stoked as I was 50 years ago and looking forward to many more days at the beach ridding waves with friends and family.
