The Rise and Fall Of Pack Ratt Mikey

 

Over the years, Mikey over at Pack Ratt Records in San Diego has been a significant advocate for both 4th Gear Flyer and mat surfing in general. His presence stands tall. Sales and service out of his shop was unsurpassed.

However, over the weekend his carefully crafted gloss took a major hit while on surfari in Orange County.

Cell phone evidence has revealed a major chink in his game...one he may never recover from. He was documented surfing the old Kook Stretch riding style in broad daylight. Out of vogue since the late fifties, this transgression may well lead to his downfall from the Mount Rushmore of mat surfing.

Are we over reacting? Let us know in the comments section.

Hey Paul,

Hope you're well. 

The wave continued on out of the surfline shot, and into the centre of the bay where it hit the reef, I then took great pleasure in taking a rare left back to the sand :) 

I measured it roughly and at a guesstimate it's 180 meters from the point to the reef.  The 30 or so seconds felt like an hour!
