I rode for SeaSki back in the mid 70's. Ron Ligenfelter was my shaper and we used to copy/modify Cleary and Fred Peterson's designs. Double wing swallow single fins were a design standard. I took my first trip to the North Shore in the winter of '75 with a SeaSki 5'8" double wing swallow single fin and a my "gun", a SeaSki 5'11" pin tail single fin kneeboard. Ah the memories......

Tryin to remember where the Sea Ski shop or "factory" was. Didn't Romo shape/ride for them for a while ?

Fossil, the SeaSki shop was on 5th street originally opened by Steve Walden then taken over by Ron Lingenfelter, they were the main shapers. I believe John Denney did some shaping there as well. The boards were glassed at Bill Stembridge's factory in Long Beach. Ron is now general manager of the Waterman's guild. Steve Walden has a shop in Ventura.

Yep, but your avatar reminded me that I saw 5 Summer Stories at The Surf Theatre in HB, wasn't that on 5th street too? Wow, that was a looooong time ago.

Wherever it was, I spent an awful lot of time there being a pest.

My first kneeboard was a double wing, single fin swallow SeaSki.
Somewhere my folks have a photo of me with that board.

The contest dates are to hold the event completely on Friday and Saturday? No Thursday competition? How will they get it all in--run double heats on two separate peaks as was done at the Oceanside contest?

Scott,

Yes, we're prepared to run two areas if necessary on Friday. The change in schedule is aimed at allowing us to run the open semis and final during (hopefully) glassy conditions Saturday morning.
