I worked as Asst. Art Director for O’Neill during the Pottz, Carroll, Gerlach era, and helped promote Pottz’s career, as well as Brad’s and Tom’s. An honor in every regard. Watching Pottz surf Santa Cruz in 1989 transformed the entire surf scene here. He was so much better than everyone. Faster, more powerful. Freaking awesome. I can still see it in my mind. I wish Jeff Hornbaker would put the film he did of Pottz that year out on DVD so the current generation can see whatz up. That is one of the all-time great surf documentaries. I also worked for Mark Price when he owned Tavarua Island Surf Company, and recently did a project with him at FireWire. He’s an awesome guy. I find the malicious comments in this article shocking. They do not resonate with Mark, at all. Mark’s awesome too. Surfing with him shredding Cloudbreak is also memorable. He is one of the best surfers to come out of Saffa, and an icon in the surf industry. I’m not saying I know what happened between Price and Martin, but I am saying that there’s allot to admire in both of them, and there’s always two sides to any story. Chill.

I dropped in on Potz at Main Beach Straddie as a grom, he was 10m deeper and still passed me on his bottom turn. Legend, respect.
