Sad to hear, Dick approaching the final days of his life. I've had his company boards since later '60's, a handful of his, a dozen Morgans, and a handful of Eberly's. Worked with Aquajet in '68. Hope he's happy with the life he had....
Yeah, bummer. I always thought of him as an artist/designer, conceptual and practical. Certainly his shapes had influence on bigger, faster wave spots, less so in smaller, weaker wave spots. But, we all gotta go....sometime.
