Mickey in Gizzie....quote & pic from Bob Feigel
"Me at the juice bar, Gisborne, New Zealand circa 1975. Sign reads, "Open just before 12 noon until 6pm or so ..." Surfer's hours.
Miki walked up one day out of the blue and asked me what was in a smoothie. I answered,
"Milk, banana and honey plus anything else you'd like me to add, like fruit, yeast, eggs,
carob, protein powder and so on." Miki said he didn't drink milk and didn't eat honey.
"Can you make me a smoothie without milk and honey?"
So I whipped him up a smoothie made with freshly made apple juice, banana and
raspberries, and he said I could call it a "Smoothie a la Miki" if I wanted. "

Your kidding me?

No true as.....but did you see him on that vid....pushing & shoving people off their boards.....kicking his board at their heads....not very pc at all.

Makes you wonder what he would have done if he'd found a "goofball" on a stand up on his wave lol.
Have been reading about him which is how I found the gizzie connection...a verycool complex dude not beyond blurring the concepts of legality to earn a living (six months gaol credit card fraud)

Cool thats interesting.

Reminds me of last years Roar Comp at the pumping jetty at the Spit when a jetskier ran into a pylon in front of us...classic

Sounds entertaining for sure.....hope he blushed
