Greg McMasters ’78

Greg was a lot like Gerry Lopez. He didn’t do a hell of a lot of tricks on a wave but he made it look good just pulling in and he could ride the barrel as good as anyone else at The Point. This pic taken with my Nikonos was shot on a cloudy day as Greg lines up the next section. Photo Chris Stroh ’78.
