Those were the days eh! And some great surf art featured on the majority of the posters too! It's a shame we rely so much on computers and vector illustrations nowadays, when a lovely painted, illustrated or hand-rendered poster is so much nicer (and collectible)...

His experiences span him being pulled from the water after wiping out by Rabbit Kekai and being personally coached by him the next day, hanging with Eddie Aikau, nursing injuries for Laird Hamilton, instigating the great surf documentary Riding Giants by introducing Darrick Doerner and Laird to one of the producers, being nicknamed by Gerry Lopez, meeting Frank Sinatra and even saving Miki Dora's life!!! His personal photo collection includes photos of a young Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Andy Irons, Taylor Knox and many more.

Check out the interview and enjoy the art and photos from his personal archives...

He was particularly famous as being one of the leading designers of psychedelic posters in the 1960s. COTW is grateful to Rick's son-in-law Tod (www.rickgriffinink.com), who represents the estate and all business dealings, who offered Rick's work to be displayed on COTW. Check it out...
