Dad liked to call his wet suite a red tailed baboon outfit. I preferred, calling him the red tailed ape. The board he is using here is his own design, has an almost flat top with 3.5 in of spoon in the front - just for fun he made it thick to see how it would ride. His designs included multi-fin swallow tailed concave on and off fin, and board leashes long before they were made commercially. He rode till his late 70's, mainly at Gladstone's{Sunset}, Topanga, and Point Dume.
