Anonymous said...: When I first went to Rincon , Puerto
Rico in 1971 I first heard of Tommy
Lewis. I went to a bar at Maria's surf
break for lunch and he was legend then.
He could surf unreal in big waves.People
talked about him like he was some sort
real Indiana Jones of the surfing world,
somebody you really knew was enjoying
his life.Years later I meet him at Cardiff Reef and told him about that .
The Creator above really wants us to enjoy this great creation. Tommy Lewis
did insuch a natural way.; January 31, 2009

An excellent board builder my friend got one at the time and it was so far ahead of it's time in board theory and design. Tommy was an amazing surfer and waterman..

It's a little late on my post here but my condolences and thoughts go to all his family and friends..
