In the book his Dad seemed like a real gentleman-there for Miki till the end. Such a shame Miki thought his surfing was the only loyalty he knew. It's not said in the book but fact- he was also a pioneer drug runner. How the hell did he surf from country to country without running drugs? BIG GAP IN THE BOOK!

Some do cause they can and then they're others that can only read about it.

Didn't he steal the prize money from the Malibu Contest in like 1965? Or is it just a rumor?

I went with my cousin a long time ago to buy a Da Cat board. We idolized him in the 60's, and were always into "side-slipping in the soup" (which, by the way, doesn't make it in the book) since we weren't good enough to nose ride. But after reading the book, it's clear that the real Mickey Dora was...a total asshole. Ripping off his friends, framing them and turning them into the cops, sponging off people. What an asshole.

He was an enigma, and one of the greatest artists on a surfboard, no doubt. But he speaks of true originality - although he followed the well worn path of a bum surfer.

You did an excellent job on the book. Loved it. Read the authorized book previous to yours which was nice but waiting for the unauthorized version which you delivered in spades! Thanks!

There are probably LESS clones nowadays than there were 40 or 50 years ago. Learn some history, bruddah.

Had the great honour of being on nodding terms and surfing with Miki in the summer of '79 in France. Long live "da cat", he was all that we wanted to be!

Just ordered this book on Amazon last. I've been waiting for it. And I remember David Rensin from many articles written for Playboy.
