The latest from John Cherry. I have never seen Tatoo designs on fins before this. I really love the fact that the designs were burned in and then watercolored. Huzzah!

A Man Called "Canoe" Part 2

This photo was donated by the Bascom family and was given to Willard Bascom by Ron Drummond. On the back of the photo is a handwritten note which reads:

"The inner peace that comes with the quiet contemplation of a beach on a still calm morning, or the feeling of exhilaration that comes from riding a great wave in a small boat, is more reward than most will ever know." 

Willard Bascom

This we have in common!

Sincerely,

Ron Drummond

Update (2017): I spoke with Ron Drummond's nephew, Tom, a few years ago and he informed me that "the surfer sitting just of Ron's bow is none other than Duke Kahanamoku". Well, I'll be a pickled popsicle stick(le).
