About a year ago Dapster asked me to post this. I finally got around to shooting it, so here it is! Back around 1987 I was hanging out in Frisco with my girl and she was really getting into windsurfing. So we went up to WH in Avon and got her a Bic setup. Those were the good old days, you could pick up a whole system for $800. So we were checking out, and I saw they were selling this cool poster. I said that since we were spending so much money, they should give us a poster. They did, and I asked who the guy was in the pic. They said it was Don Bowers, and that he was the master board shaper for Fox/WH. I asked if I could get it autographed; they said if I stop back tomorrow they'll have a signed one for me. So I came back and got it. Fast forward to 2007, I finally got to meet Don while hanging out at Fox in April. We had a nice chat and I told him the story of the poster. Now he's the guy behind the camera. Dang, 1985 just doesn't seem vintage to me! [CENTER] [/CENTER]

Wow... what a neat story. And what a neat poster too.

Thanks Bluejay, that is indeed the poster I remember. I met Don around 1993-94 at Bubba's BBQ Frisco location, seated at a table under that very poster, signed as well!

Haven't physically crossed paths with him since. Have been hoping to this summer, but it hasn't come to pass just yet.

I have to agree that 1985 doesn't sound that old to me either, until you do the math....

I glady join you in the continued denial, though! Helps me get through the day, just like avoiding mirrors does!

Good stuff, Bluejay, thanks again!
