"The Late Greats"

This pic of Mike Eaton with an early 3 fin stands out in my embryonic days of Bonzer love. There are 3 other pics from the magazines that did the same and also graced my blue denim school notebook's cover. I'll post those soon! I'm still wondering when someone's going to do an updated version of this early Eaton airbrush. JP???? There's also a pic on the Campbell site with this paint job on one of the boards at the headquarters. I guess it might not work as well with a five fin. (composition wise) I hope I'm wrong cuz I'd love to see a nod to this era and picture from an early surfer magazine. Come to think of it, I have'nt seen a whole lot of 3 fin mini eggs or pods out there. I happen to have an updated 3 fin egg from Malcolm which has stayed in my quiver for 6 years and is not going away anytime soon. Based on an Eaton shape, I felt strange asking him to do it but he did with no complaints and threw in modern features that makes this one a staple for me. 6'6", heavy glassed and glued blank make this board a truly stable rocket for toobz!
