Your comment on Jay Adams is 100% Correct
in my Opinion as well . I Competed (
Skateboarding ) against Jay , and the rest of the Gang . That Boy had some REAL Talent. Wicked Smooth ............So Flowing and at Ease , Till the Routy side came out ! I Surfed with Jay a Few times at a Break in El Segundo . Just ran into him by chance there ., But we "Pushed " each other to try to do
" The Latest Take-Off ".............or
"Most Rad CutBack"............You get the Picture. He was a
VERY Talented Surfer Too . I saw MANY Top Skateboarders and Surfers of that time period (
In Our Area ) And Jay Was a Standout . He Always was Kind to me . Yes he did prison time...................but , to tell you what I think about that ............................It probably kept him alive longer than he would have been . He Didn't Make it very long after his ( Prison ) time was done. He Died in Mexico . Was on a Surfing trip from what I remember.
R.I.P. Jay This photo of me was taken just a few miles south of El Segundo .................Around the Same Timeframe . This is in Redondo Beach , At The Breakwall . Thanks for bringing back more memories . Ride Safe !
