Fred

Every spot has one. You know who I'm talking about...it's that older dude who smokes cigs in the parking lot, shapes his own sleds, has unique style, flowy long hair, and a positive attitude?

Well, that's Fred.

I first introduced myself to him about a year ago by snaking his buddy. They both yelled at me. I apologized and Fred introduced himself and shook my hand. We've been acquaintances ever since.

Fred surfs, shapes, and paints his unique craft all on his own. He foils his fins too.

He seems to know everyone in the lineup.

Anyways, here he is with the squid. Looks somewhat similar to what the Mirandon's are doing with the Porpoise, as far as the outline goes.
