Recovering and getting this board back to Cheyne was amazing and one of the many positives of the flood relief effort by the community. Thanks Hayden for taking care of this board for all these years and flowing it back to Cheyne.
Like many kids I loved Cheyne and his surfing as a grom. He was my hero. I have a fond memory of surfing Swami's at 13 in 1979, where I pretended to be him on one wave and then MR on the next wave in an imaginary competition. I studied everything about Cheyne, he was a huge inspiration and a big reason why I chose to devote myself to becoming a professional surfer. Thank you Cheyne for your amazing contribution to surfing. And Thanks for being such a good friend.

Yo Brad! Very cool brother. Hey Cheyne! You inspired me. I rode some of Geoff's boards back in the day, including a 5'10" Laser Zap. I loved that board! Mahalo Cheyne, Geoff, Brad.

They both surfed for themselves & not for sponsors. Real surfers! 🤘

Great story Mr G. A heartfelt input from you. I grew up surfin at the Di and can still remember seeing Cheyne pulling into a 2 foot cover-up/ tube, disappearing and almost instantly reappearing 5 meters down the line. Yes truly cosmic ;-)

Yeah this is unreal. I grew up on Sydney's Northern Beaches and rode McCoys through the mid late 70's. I have in my collection an original McCoy with this exact spray in reverse (red rails yellow deck spray). Always wondered if it had a connection to Cheyne as I remember he rode both spray versions like this and reversed. Really cool looking boards.

How good is this, surfing is the source.

Great video! I remember a lot of those boards from that era. Rode a couple when Cheyne and I swapped out in the surf. Don't remember one with a full picture spray on the bottom though? That wasn't McCoy-ish at all. Wonder if that was done as part of a resto when they did the rails? Doubt it. Good to see the rarely sighted Impressario, Mr Adrian Esposito.
