Wayne Lynch In Icons Of Foam

Wayne Lynch is going to be featured in an upcoming "Icons Of Foam" event -- which would have been unthinkable for the famously reclusive Lynch 20 years ago -- but here it is.

The interview with him is interesting and insightful...well worth the read.

Of course, he takes a few shots at the boards he rode in the late 60's. This attitude has always grated on me, not because his crude, seminal boards were so great, but because the logical conclusion is to assume that transition era hulls were a non-starter. Of course, based on the subsequent 50 years of design work, we know that's not true.

Anyway, it's a small point of contention...because no one can tell us not to carry on riding what we love!
