I remember Lirch. Fuck that goes years back. Shit I feel old. He had a beefy railed Hurley that I used to laugh at. You gotta give him sum cred though, when everyone was surfing polka dotted wave tool twin fin potato chips he was surfing on a solid stick. Shit I guess he needed though he stood 7'2" in flip flops.
John and I both had Hurleys. Mine wasThee best thruster i ever had. wish i knew where it was. He was a big Horan and Joe Engel fan which is why he went single. That whole McCoy single finner crew were the shit also. Gothard was a surf god. 2 words...wave knowledge. JR is in NYC now.
I think that Hurley Thruster is under my house in Manoa. 5'9" or 5'10" shaped in 1981 by Bob. Squash tail with boxed trailer fin. Blue rails. IPD logo. Super fat, abotu 20 inches wide
Hey guys, I just noticed your exchange and wanted to say hello. My brother just returned one of my boards from '83; my 6'8" Stussy gun! It was one of my favorite boards. Email me at john.gothard@cctraders.com.
