Frank Morales Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I just saw Chuck Barfoot at a surf contest I was in this weekend. He is doing well and making some nice looking skateboard decks and also making surfboard blanks out of styro for local shapers. Burton is also doing some good things for Channel Island surfboards he is lowering cost for a stock board and giving employees health benifits which they didn't have prior to the take over.Al Merrick is still head of design and still runing the show and shows up 9 to 5. Hope everyone had a good summer let it snow let it snow. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Morales Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Joe It was the C street Longboard classic in ventura.I made it to the semi finals and got knocked out.I live a few miles back from C street and there was a raging fire getting to close for comfort.All I could think about in my heat was which boards I would take if we had to evacuate virus madds burners surfboards and guitars oh yeh and the kids baby pictures.Luckly the winds changed today and things are looking better.

At "Donners Legends Race" he was so kind and friendly to all. What a great guy. Glad to hear you didn't have to make that decision. I am betting you would have had an arm full of Burners on the first trip? Sounds like you aren't doing so bad yourself? Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Morales Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hey Bryan Yeh Chuck is a great guy and full of good energy.He was really one of the key players in making the first Sims boards back in the day and continues to have the passion to design and inovate new ideas.I had a chance to sit down with him and catch up shooting the sh-t about skateboards surfboards and of coarse snowboards.I have alot of good memorys of hiking the back country with Chuck trying out the first of his creations.He always had a whiskey flask on him to take off the chill when ever we would get lost he would say here try this it'll help.
