Tom Morey G&S Prototypes. Designs the Waterskate

972 As the G&S worldwide sales rep I was getting ready to make the initial sales trip back east. Tom Morey had taken a break from perfecting the Boogie Board to come in and do some designing. The video shows the G&S team test riding a group of Tom's prototypes. He stopped by my Mission Beach pad one Sunday afternoon and asked if I had a key to the factory. I did, so over we went. He said he had an idea for a board that would be perfect for small waves. There was a 12' lifeguard blank over in the corner and that's what he used to shape the first Waterskate. We put the shaped blank out on a scale in the front parking lot of the factory. Tom put a vinyl sticker on each rail. I shot the photo using my Pentax with a telephoto lens for a short depth of field to blur the background. That's the photo that's in the ad. I left on my sales trip with nothing but a photo. They sent me another prototype on the road. Of course the production boards were less radical. And the prototype they sent me didn't look like the board in the ad. After all we couldn't use a lifeguard blank for each board Tom wrote all the ads and designed the fin he called the "Power Hungry Fin" Boards had been getting shorter, narrower and thinner and we were losing a lot of the "recreational" surfers. This board was easy for the weekend surfers to ride and we had great success with it.
