Bill Holden Rememberance Party @ Doheny Beach

Corrie called, saying Bill Holden will not be finishing my board I asked for. Bill passed away on February 2, 2008. M-A-N-Y of Bill’s surfing friends met at Doheny for a celebration of Bill. Lots of boards.


Yes, that's a pegged geiger counter!  Only to be surfed at San Onofre.

Steve recalled an incident with Bill. They were walking a beach when a stranger asked Bill about his Holden t-shirt. Where did he get it, and can he get one? Bill explained that he was the Holden of Holden surfboard, and the shirts aren’t sold in stores. So Bill ripped his shirt off and gave it to the guy! After everyone finished laughing at that story, Steve asked the crowd, was there a person in the crowd that did not know Bill? A man stepped forward and said Yes. So Steve ripped off his shirt and gave it to the man.

RIP Bill.
