WTF??? Please attempt to post correctly or your privileges may be revoked..
BIGKOOK is the gotdamn curattor of Surfing History, and we should be thankful he's here to guide us. Sadly, his graphics (punctuation) tend to throw us of course i.e. Tom Blake paddleboard which Blake himself didn't build. Gomes built them, nowaday they call them 'kook boxes'
I'm sorry BK, I, too, was confused. It appears the photo claims Abel Gomes seems to be posing with Baby Alan. That ain't not Baby Alan. I don't know who it is but it's not Baby Alan, or as far as that goes it's niether L.J.Richards nor Dale Dobson. BK sometimes attempts to trick us, doesn 't he?
Somebody says BK got called on the carpet at camp for yelling at students. There's a pretty good chance they'll shitcan him any day now. One of his students called him a meany.
Big Kook of San Onofre, you're not going to believe what guys ase doing on boards now. They cross tep to the nose, turn and walk back to the tail. If you ever come to the beach you won't believbe it.

Much better! Mahalo.
Hey the blog moniter, what's with this 'mahalo' anyway.

I had some 'mahalo' for dinner last night in a Greek restaurant. It was delicious. Made from sheep kidneys I believe.
