The ass who stole my 1985 El Camino from Ladera Heights. That girl who tried to rip my malo off at a show in Waikiki. The guy who saw me get a standup barrel at Kaiko's... hope he took a picture. Augusto Camara in 2005. Karen O. (from the yeah yeah yeah's) some fool put this online. good surfer, great music.
