Yes, I heard that the surfer bowl, that's put on by the OB Geriatrics Club was supposed to be Feb. 3 and 4. They are having it a year from this weekend. There is a small fee, I can't remember how much, but it's not alot. It'll give everyone a chance to get plenty of practice.

I'm definitely going to go check out his photography. He was one of the limited photographers who could shoot the kneeboarders at Big Rock. He was also ahead of his time, by using the camera board to get the perspective of the rider in the tube.
