Today was one of the best days in my 40 years of surfing & nearly 30 years in the surf industry when I got to hand the great Mark Richards his new 6'2 Jimmy Lewis "Marlon" foil board.... A true legend & gentleman, i could have stood around talking story with him all day but in the hour or so we spent talking foil boarding, snowboarding, surfing, shaping & traveling i was blown away at how humble & down-to-earth he is... To think the 4 time world champ was asking me for foil board advice & tips & to to see his stoke & excitement just blew me away & then he sent me this email this afternoon-
" I'm totally frothing on getting a Jimmy / Marlon Foil board, the shape, quality, weight & Color are epic , can't wait to set it up with my Go Foil & try it out " thanks again MR
Rumour has it his turns were so good because he only wore a shoe on his right foot.
Total legend... When I have the cash i am definitely getting a MR rainbow Twin
It's a new/old board stand we're marketing....Like the Fanning Thong/Bottle opener :)
One of surfing true great and quiet heroes...
Waiting to see if he can invent the twin foils :-)
