Rod Snell was in town for the night. We met him in Laguna Beach and went out for a bite to eat. It was great to hang with him. Long conversations with colorful content: tank construction, employer dress codes and Johnny White tales.

Ever since I saw him do a 360 judo off the launch ramp, he’s been a hero of mine. Location: In back of Great North Sports at the summer skate ‘88 jam. He won the deck.
