A Founding Partner Passes Away
Harris, Jeff, 56, of Newport Beach, brother, dearest friend, leader, ally, musician, uncle to many, cohort, wingman and inspiration left us suddenly, Tuesday, March 5, 2013. His smile, wit, loyalty, laugh, intelligence, instinct, talent, passion, artistry and optimism will be with us forever. Jeff had the rare blessing of living his passions and dreams every day. His talent and craftsmanship on the ground and sheer artistry in the air were legendary. The travel bug bit him early, taking him to every corner, and surf spot on the globe. His passion for flying continued that dream, both as a longtime pilot for American Airlines, and as one of the most talented and prolific private and vintage war bird pilots and restoration experts in the country. Jeff's insistence on perfection was always apparent, whether in designing and building a masterpiece custom home or restoring and flying historic aircraft. A humble yet very friendly and outgoing lad, "Hareball" could strike up a conversation and hold court with anyone, anywhere. He surely had his opinions on most subjects and was not hesitant to share them. His love for the water drew him to many exotic destinations, and also to his beloved Beacon Bay, where he was a longtime and beloved figure; and where he was building his dream home and future. Jeff often talked about hanging out in his garage/workshop at retirement, holding court and building fine guitars. Whether you knew him a day or a lifetime, he was your friend, mentor and entertainer. Donations in memory of Jeff may be made to Surfing Heritage, of which he was a founding member CLICK HERE TO DONATE
And be sure to write that you're making a donation in Jeff's Memory in the message box. Thank You.

Sally Yater Passes Away
Sally Yater passed away today, May 1, 2013. Sally owned the Bikini Factory in Summerland, CA, but most will recognize the Yater name from (Reynold) Yater Surfboards of Santa Barbara. Sally was Renny's longtime wife and mother of Lauren Yater. Not only was Sally a seamstress, she was also a cook and author. You can read some of her recipes HERE. On the rare occasion, she would accompany Renny on his trips down the coast, stopping by the Surfing Heritage on their way to the various shops that carried the Yater label. She was always a sweetheart, very polite, and you just knew she and Renny were a great couple. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to Renny and the Yater family, she will be greatly missed.

Gordie "Banjo" Model
Gordie Duane, shaping a board, April 26, 1963. Photo: LeRoy Grannis
Surfing magazine published a “shapers tree” that documented our surfboard industry’s shapers up to that point in time. There were countless unknown Hawaiian shapers in the early history of our sport. But not much is known about surfboard craftsmen until after 1900, when surfing was popularized in Waikiki by the sport’s official ambassador, Duke Kahanamoku. Amongst Duke’s peers, there was a great waterman and surfboard shaper named Able Gomes who taught Gordie how to shape his first board. Gordon Duane was very proud that his name appeared in the shapers tree in the third tier right below Duke Kahanamoku.
Surfing Heritage's Founder, Dick Metz, picked up this unique Gordie at our recent auction. Here's what the auction catalogue had to say about the board: There are plenty of ‘unique’ surfboards on the auction block and this Gordie ‘Banjo’ model definitely falls into that category. First designed by the ever- flamboyant Dale Velzy the ‘banjo’ was basically an exaggerated pig shape, with the wide point moved way back of center. Essentially a gimmick, with not enough made to qualify as an actual model, this Gordie is one of the only examples of the design from a major label. That being said it’s an absolutely beautiful example, with some fine pigment work and pin-lining applied to what today has to be considered one of the most interesting boards on the collectable market.

John Van Hamersveld Book Signing and Q&A on June 15
Please join us on Saturday, June 15, from 3-6pm, to celebrate the release of John Van Hamersveld's new book, 50 Years of Graphic Design by John Van Hamersveld.
John will be giving a talk about his varied career and will follow that up with a Q&A session.
There's no cost to attend this event but we hope you'll buy a book or one of John's posters, a portion of the sales will go to support Surfing Heritage. As usual, we'll have Primo Beer and Longboard Vineyards wines available for purchase for those 21 and over.
John Van Hamersveld (born 1941, Baltimore, MD) is an American graphic artist and illustrator. In the early 1960s, while attending Art Center College of Design by day, he began his professional career as art director at Surfer magazine. By the mid-1960s, Van Hamersveld's groundbreaking promotional poster for the cult surf film The Endless Summer was making the rounds, and a name for its creator in the process. Eventually his talents were directed towards concert posters promoting shows by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, The Who and more. By the late '60s, John was hired as an art director at Capitol Records where he went on to design 300 ablum covers such as The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour and the Rolling Stones Exile On Main St. Van Hamerveld's iconic sensibilities were later put to good use as he created logos, typography and complete graphic identities for brands such as Gotcha, Fatburger, JIMMY'Z and Tower Records. More recently the designer has seen his images realized on a massive scale, via 12 million LEDs, at the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas.

1926 Waikiki
Click on the image to enlarge
My dad was 7 1/2 when the photos were taken - his name was Robert John (Bob) Brooks. He was an only child and lived in Chicago with his mom and dad. The family took a cruise to Honolulu on the SS President Wilson departing San Francisco June 26 and arriving in Honolulu July 2, 1926. I was able to zero in on the dates using Ancestry.com where I found the passenger list for the ship (attached). The photographs are 8x10s and have the name of a Chicago photo lab on the prints, so I suspect that they were taken by family members, not cruise ship employees.
He passed away at age 92 and I am just now sorting through all the old albums and boxes of photographs. I knew these photos existed, but only just now came across them. –

Screening Cyrus Sutton's "Compassing" · Fri August 23
"Compassing was a chance to take the surf trip I'd always wanted. We departed at the beginning of May and lucked into the run of south swell that slammed the west coast in 2013. Mexico is less affected by the digital age. When you are in the countryside you are disconnected from everything. Raw displays of life and death around every corner. Living amongst all this is like stepping into the sun after a long cold winter, it feels uncomfortable at first. After a while you start to wonder how you survived otherwise." -Cyrus Sutton
Please join us on Friday, August 23 as we present the latest from Cyrus Sutton. We'll be raffling off some great prizes including goods from Reef, Yakima, Leatherman, and Goal Zero as well as some SHACC swag. Doors open at 7:30, movie will screen at 8. Tickets are only $5, and include 1 raffle ticket. We'll have Primo Beer and Longboard Vineyardswines available for those 21 and over (with ID). This will be an indoor screening, only 100 seats available.

Edward Ryon Makuahanai "Eddie" Aikau
Fred Hemmings and Eddie exiting the water at Waianae, HI. Photo from the Fred Hemmings' Collection.
Edward Ryon Makuahanai "Eddie" Aikau (May 4, 1946 – March 17, 1978) is one of the most respected names in surfing. He was the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay on the island of Oahu. He saved many lives and became well known as a big-wave surfer. "Eddie" was a true symbol of Aloha.
Born on the island of Maui, Aikau later moved to O'ahu with his family in 1959. In 1968, he became the first lifeguard hired by the City & County of Honolulu to work on the North Shore. Not one life was lost while he served as lifeguard at Waimea Bay. Eddie braved surf that often reached 20 feet high or more to make a rescue. He became very famous for surfing the bigHawaiian surf and won several surfing awards including First Place at the prestigious 1977 Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Surfing Championship. The local saying, "Eddie Would Go," refers to his stoke to take on big waves that other surfers would shy away from and his courage to make a rescue in impossible situations.
"Eddie" became involved in perpetuating his Hawaiian heritage. In 1976, the Polynesian Voyaging Society sailed the Hokule'a on a successful 30-day, 2500 mile journey following the ancient route of the Polynesian migration between the Hawaiian and Tahitian islands. In 1978, a second voyage of the traditional sailing canoe was planned. At 31 years of age, Aikau was selected for this voyage as a crew member. The Hokule'a left the Hawaiian Islands on March 16, 1978. The double-hulled voyaging canoe developed a leak in one of the hulls and later capsized in stormy weather about twelve miles south of the island of Molokai. In an attempt to get to land to save his crew and the Hokule'a, Aikau paddled toward Lanai on his surfboard. Hours later a commercial airplane spotted the Hokule'a and the rest of the crew was soon rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. Aikau was missing at sea. Despite great search efforts "Eddie" was never seen again. (excerpt from the Eddie Aikau Foundation website)
