After coping a fin to his skull in Hawaii Gary used a (Canadian Ice Hockey) helmet  to cover the “soft spot” where the surgeons had removed a large segment of smashed skull-bone & allowed me to surf and compete, before my cranioplasty (plate insertion)…Photo Getty Images

Still deep in the barrel. As luck would have it, I ran out of film, this is the last frame in a roll of 36 exposures. 
The rest of Gary’s ride is still clearly etched in my memory more than 20 years later. Easily the best tube ride I’ve witnessed at the point. Cronulla Point March 13, 1994 photo and words Tim Vanderlaan
