Mikes Walker Twinzer Fish

This is a board I painted for Mike probably more than 2 years ago. The pictures have been floating around and I just never got it up on the site so, I'm posting it here to give it the fame it deserves. Mike doodled me a little sketch on a scrap piece of note paper and I translated it into the painting below for his Walker Twinzer Fish. Recognize the outline? I traced it for my Yellow fish, but set the fins up ala speed dialer style. The beach is 83rd St in Cedars. I surfed on LBI for the first time in over a year in Surf City on Tuesday night with Sak. Chest high lefts. It was fun. So these pics are before Mike snapped the nose. About a year ago he snapped a Mayo fish in half and then managed to crack the nose on his Walker in a period of about 2 months. Luckily the foam survived intact on the Walker and just the glass on the deck snapped. We patched it up and I repainted over the repair. Good as new. Hopefully I'll get down there to surf Cedars again soon. I think one of the last times I surfed there we came up with this genius idea to paddle across the cove to his house. In our 4/3s, hoods, boots, gloves in what was probably mid December, there we were paddling in brackish water on shortboards across the cove. About half way across I decided I didn't feel like paddling anymore so I grabbed Mikes leash without him knowing and let him pull me along. Eventually he figured it out when we were moving half speed. Anyway, LBI is always good times.
