Hawaii Growers

Yeah - Les Potts told me that story. Also heard it was a German or foreign guy.

I met Laird when he came to the Infinity shop in Orange County and we talked story. Steve (owner) got a shocked look on his face when I mentioned to Laird that my first board was a Ryan Dotson. Surfed with him that whole summer at Salt Creek. Nicest guy I ever met. Last time I saw him was at the premier of Riding Giants.

Cheers,
Mo

P.S. - Sorry about your avatar - I could not look away from it so it made it hard for me to read your posts hehe

this is bullshit, where is the rest of my story? Ryan Dotson was actually run off the island because he owed to much money to the wrong people! I know this for a fact cause I use to date his former wife. The late Sheila Ching, aka Sheila Dotson. After Ryan, Sheila hooked former football player & movie Star Bubba Smith of Police Academy fame. Sheila's cousin was Cyrus "Bon" Ching, husband to Lord Tally Ho Blears daughter Laura Blears. A pro surfer & former centerfold in Playboy. Anyway, because Sheila was crazy, she is the last local gal I've ever been with. I swore I'd never go that route again. Sheila was so nuts that when I left her, I left the island too! Many a times she'd go off on me like only a local chick can,...because I reminded her of Ryan at times! But that's another story all together!

Billy Hamilton found this kid always playing by himself at Sunset. When Ryan left the island the kid lost his father. Billy being Billy ended up taking this kid on. Who in the end grew up, and made Billy proud that he made that choice way back when to keep the kid!

I have all kinds of stories, I remember one night on a full moon having a chick smoking a joint with me at Arma Hut. As we were smoking this joint I could hear faint yelling in the distance. As my eyes focused in I noticed it was Sam Hawk and LeRoy Dennis being chased down the beach by a bunch of da hui guys. But what made this really strange was neither guy had any clothes on? I wonder what they did to piss off the Hui...while they were naked!?

I lived for two years at Velzyland with Marc Rocklin, of the Rocklin family that owed 'Surfline', and I got great war stories from the North Shore!

I thought that was a weird story! Did you live on Maui back in 75? Did you know Terry McCabe? I miss 1975 Maui - lived upcountry in a tee-pee Full of good earth people and you could hitch a ride anywhere on the island. Oh well, maybe some day I will make it back. For now the OC is fine.

Lived on Kauai for a while in 80. It seemed more tense than Maui. Surfing Tunnels scared the shit outta me. The water was black and waves just jumped out of nowhere. Kept waiting for a big fish to come up and eat me

P.S. - I asked Billy what happened to RD and he did not know.

Oh - and thanks for the cool folklore. Makes me feel like I was there I am guessing that the boys were naked cause they were being punked by some local girls in cahoots with the locals boys.

I'm pretty sure I was on Maui in 75. The name Terry McCabe sounds very familiar , was he a southern california surfer who moved to Maui, and did he have a relative that shaped surfboards in Southern Cal?

He lived right on front street! I am pretty sure he shaped boards. Last I heard he was groundskeeper at Kaanapali golf course.

Mo, how do you know Less Potts? I use to live with him off of Front Street, right behind the old Coconut Grove Restaurant with a bunch of surfing misfits

Small world! I talked to him about ten years ago when I was trying to find info about Ryan. When I did a Google search for Ryan only two results came back. A picture of Ryan, Billy and somebody else dropping in at Honolua, and an article about Les Potts. I sent an email to Les. Les is originally from Orange County so we talked about Ryan, Maui, OC, guitars...

I seen that one too, haha. Now it applies to me.

Smoked four flavored joints today think I'm going to puke
Only papers that were around, I didn't feel like driving and buyin some I was busy doing yardwork and just wanted to smoke. Yeah blueberry rolled in blueberry papers, no thanks never doing that again.

I'm already sweet enough
That weed by it's self is fruity enough why you going to ruin it with a flavored paper? When I had a poor diet, I always use to take the nori off my musubi's. No reason to ruin perfectly good spam and rice.

Anyway
What kinda papers you guys use? I use "Skunk Brand" Original 1"1/4. How about favorite/tastiest strain to smoke in a joint?

bodhi day for surfd out ,

the love up front are a foul ball cross from a friend , thank you !

you got pictures of the bubbleberry? A freind gave me a bubbleberry plant last year. She looked a lot like bubble gum too, mostly sative high, not much taste or smell. I crossed her with my blue widow(indica dominant), should make a good 50/50 we will see in a few weeks
