r.i.p. gonzales pool

mad dog 1977


harts alva add


the legendary king of pools has seen it's last day. the one and only gonzales pool had it's last session yesterday. on and off for over 30 years the pool is no more. decades of world class shredding in the backyard of senior gonzales (featured on old tv shows: cisco kid, etc.). gonzo's was popularized by classic pics of ray flores and alva busing his "first" f-side airs over the blazing fire coping. other memorable images was of hackett's jimmy'z add slashing the hip wall upside down and oster's d-box indy add in the 80's. in the 90's were rare sessions with murray, m.v., raskell and crew. long live the memory of gonzo's !
