KenDog...The Formative Years


Long before he was the mat-diety we know so well today, KenDog was the inspiration for Barbie's paipo ridin' surfer dude boy friend! Cool mask and flippers, Dog!

That was when I had hair. I still have the shirt though.

I notice Ken still has a penchant for color co-ordinated clothing and surf vehicle. Yellow flowered jacket, yellow flowered paipo. Black wetsuit, black mat.

Piskian,

You don't need educating. You got it!

Always something in the wind in regards to mat surfing. Only wish I knew how to post better. Maybe Prana or Soul will help out as they are close and savvy.

Would love to come back to UK to surf (mat) as it has been 35 years since I last rode a wave there and I have roots somewhere in the isles.

You folks are always welcome where I surf. We have mats, cars and wetsuits. You just have to learn to surf in the dark.
