From SW418, Terry Fitzgerald’s tribute to the late Dick Brewer. “Spring ‘71, Rocky Point, came out of the water, Dick Brewer walked up and introduced himself. Checked my board, didn’t know him – or of him – seemed like a nice chap. Amiable, personable, appreciated the raw adzed-shaped concepts I was riding. A few more days surfing, random conversations. Said he was over to shape, on his way to the production bay. If I wanted, I could fly over and stay at his place on Kauai. “It was the year of Tea for the Tillerman. How many times I chorused, Miles from Nowhere driving down the hill from Hanapepe to surf Poipu or Acid Drops. “Where do the children play.....” Surfed some Pakala with Dick, walking up the beach from Waimea River. Talked a lot of design, learned some yoga moves, went bass fishing in the cane field dams with Jackie Baxter. A lot to take in, a long way from Narrabeen.” RB, Buddy Boy Kaohi and a young TF...
