Bicycled to the wedge yesterday with a bike pal Mike. Waves weren't too bad. Some of the bodyboarders were finding decent small waves. The lifeguard tower's flag of yellow with a black dot means no surfing.

By the wedge is a jetty, with a long wall of gray rocks. This woman, prob in her 60s & a longtime resident overheard Mike & I talking. She pitched in a few trivia, about John Wayne hurting his shoulder at the Wedge, which led to him acting instead of football. This lady also said the jetty is where part of the Gilligan's Island theme was filmed, where the Minnow is heading off for a 3 hour tour.

Long time enthusiast, first time poster....
Don't ask me why I didn't start posting many moons ago...
Anyway, it's never too late, right?
I figured this would be the greatest surprise I could give BTD, smack-dab in the middle of his pre-convention stress period.

I just wanted to take a moment and commend the man, the myth, the legend, the enigma we all know and love...Lord Big Tiki Dude of the fabled Anaheim Hansens, whose fanaticism for this music has done so very much to enrich all of our lives!!! His hard work, dedication, passion, persistence and determination are unrivaled in just about any scene and it is primarily because of him that we are able to celebrate the drip in an official way again this year (for the 4th time--can you believe it??!!)! He goes soooooo far above and beyond for this music, not only putting the convention together, but promoting the reverb all year around! He quite literally is....the US ambassador of Reverb!!!! They should create a new seat for him at the UN! (OK, I'm getting carried away now...)

Seriously, though, Big Tiki Dude, Jeff Hanson, my brutha--we salute you!!!
Thank you so much for everything that you do! It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!!!
Now, take a deep breath, throw back another 2 oz. of Zaya and give yourself a much-deserved pat on the back. We love you, man!!!

Truly looking forward to enjoying every second of this year's festivities, especially seeing everyone in person again! Oh yeah, and finally being an "official" active member. Cheers!

I always wondered why I'd see Johnpaul at almost every surf gig but never saw any SG101 posts. Now I know!

Welcome to the boards, bro! Looking forward to having some more drinks with you this year Cheers

And yes. Jeff is the man. He is like Atlas, with the world of Reverb on his mighty shoulders. We are truly indebted to him... Worship

No truer words written, Jonpaul.

To BTD! Cheers
