Click to expand... There was some kind of promotion at a local shop (Ocean Hut) in the 80s where they were giving away Quiksilver posters and other swag. I forget what pro was visiting or what the circumstances were. But I got a killer Eddie Aikau poster and a Quiksilver "surfer's black book". It was a neat little booklet with a calendar, lots of mouthwatering photos, an area for phone numbers (two lists, one for "Bros" and the other for "Bettys"), and -- getting to the point you mentioned -- a glossary of terms that every surfer should know. It was just a goofy little thing but I, as a frothing grom, definitely did study those terms in case there would ever be a quiz. |
