GROWING UP IN LAGUNA BEACH IN THE 80S, EVERYONE KNEW JACK DENNY, HE WAS THE MAN, BEST SURFER IN TOWN AND HE WAS A GREAT DESIGNER, REALLY TALENTED. JACK WAS ALWAYS ON THE FOREFRONT, SO, YOU WERE ALWAYS LOOKING TO SEE WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE PASSED AWAY IN 1998, AND THE SURFING WORLD LOST AN ICON AND HE WAS OUTSPOKEN ON THINGS HE BELIEVED IN, I THINK IF HE WERE STILL HERE, THE INDUSTRY WOULD BE DIFFERENT, MAYBE MORE CREATIVE AND LESS BIG BIZ. HERE IS AN OLD ARTICLE I FOUND THAT HE DID, ITS PRETTY COOL TO HEAR WHAT DESIGNING FOR A SMALL SURF BRAND WAS LIKE BACK THEN, BEFORE THE INTERNET AND BACK THEN THERE WERE REALLY ONLY A FEW SURF BRANDS.
