It's been a while since I have added photos to my blog. We had a great opportunity to dive into our past here at the Regal Theater in Oceanside on August 7, 2008. Shaun Thomson was in town to promote his movie, Bustin' Down the Door.... http://www.bustindownthedoor.com/ I highly recommend this to anyone remotely interested in surfing or the history of surfing. I sort of forget that sometimes when we experience life, it becomes not only a piece of our history, but it can be life changing history as well. Check it out.
My little connection happened in 1987 while my friend Leslie and I were visiting Australia. We ended up going to 3 surf contests. My photography skills were on snapshot mode, but still managed to dig out a photo of Shaun and Mark Richards that I took, Shaun signed it for me. He is a very nice man with quite a story to tell.
Our friends are in some of these photos. Norma and Mike with his son Finn, the new generation of surfing. Jane didn't want to be in the photo, she was here for the Twilight trailer but think she managed to enjoy the movie as well.
