During the course of the last 50 years, Ive been asked two questions over and over, says Greg Noll, himself a surfing legend One is, What was it like to ride big waves? The other is, What was Miki Dora really like? Even Noll, a friend of Doras since childhood, says the latter is a question almost impossible to answer.

He does offer this much:

He was probably the purest surfer who ever waxed a board. ...

He had a style that was completely his own. He was remarkable. "

Fab'lous. Very beautiful bit of twang-dithering in that first tune. If you don't mind me asking, what type of strings are you using?

[supertonesurf]

it's a new fender six string bass with a old set of fender VI bass flatwound strings: thanx for asking. cheers the supertones  est 1988-

[xwsftassell]

Thanks for that info. It's a beautiful sound, and a fantastic track.
