Thanks Ed. Nice shots of some great waves. I happened to see in the news that Hobie Alter died a few weeks ago. He was my neighbor in Laguna Beach in the '50s. I did yard work for him to earn enough money to buy one of his early balsa wood surfboards. I don't remember the number on it, but it was like 989 or somewhere in the high 900s. He was a great guy. About 7 or 8 years older than me, but he always treated me well. His name became more famous than his surfboards. Hobie catamarans, sunglasses, swim wear, etc.
