the classic "hacky-wacky" by the one and only D.H.
b-side attack by oster. pic: block
hosoi doing his masonite slash.i remember an old conversation with scotty oster back in 1989, we were discussing the anatomy of a "slash." it was hands down agreed upon that you had to be a surfer to understand the body language and emulation of riding a surfboard. the slash was to represent you hitting the lip of a wave - in doing so contorting your body and board in a high style fashion. back then this style was prominent with the heavy dt/hawaii surf/skt connection, dating back to larry bert & his gang. scotty said he always tried to copy the zipper head backside bert slash, and i said i tried to emulate the hackett frontside attack. these were the 2 finest examples of the srf skt slash. and if you did this move in a pool - you were the king. who had this style? - you know the players. surf the earth as we used to say......
