Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we thought we'd break out an all-time classic image from the early 1970s, George Greenough's tube shot of Russell Hughes. This is considered to be the first photo of a surfer in the "Green Room" shot from inside the wave. This poster became one of Surfer Magazine's best sellers, and for those who remember, it brings back a flood of memories from the era before leashes and big money contests. You could get any color of wetsuit—as long as you wanted black, and Rainbow fins, Pendletons, cords, JC Penny pocket tees, Wallabees, purple Waxmate, and films like Five Summer Stories were tops! Celebrate the Green! (Andrew Crockett has made this poster available once again, and it's even signed by Mr. Greenough: http://switch-foot.com/view_item.php?item_id=134)
