diff made me my first foam board in 1962-63 at the end of lagoon drive past the old airport. he had a quonset hut and was working with another guy. i won the bingo on the lurline and got 90$ for my new surfboard. it was a 9-4 square tail and fin with halo.

Barry,
I just got to this site! Unreal! thanks for the memories about Ewa Beach. I also was one of those keed’s from Ewa Beach road. Surfed looking up to John Sadowski and brothers, Stanley and “Bum Bum”. John is still one of the smoothest. I visit my parents there and see him sitting on his front lawn at his mom’s home in front of “Empty Lots”. Once in a while I might see Herbert. I remember when he rode that hydroplane board. Some other great surfers from that era was Lester Enamoto, who also lived right down from the Lots. I was younger than those guys, but they were all guys that I looked up to. Ewa Beach Surf Club was the greatest.
Butch

Steve,

Did you ever spend the night on our living room floor in Cardiff in the late 60s, early 70s?

My brother Rusty and myself have pictures of Officer’s Beach circa 1964-66. Would you guys allow us to upload to the site?

Mahalo,

Oh yeah. Steve, remember fishing for Hole Hole off the launch dock in the harbor? We used to take the shuttle to Hickham AFB to go watch a movie.
