1975 Del Mar Results Refresher
On 1/25/2007 Chris Yandall wrote in from United States  (70.167.nnn.nnn)



And then later on that same year, I won the World at San Diego Stadium.

Fun time! I won a surfboard and some stickers :(

I kinda feel like Kareem Abdul Jabbar :)

Well, as my friends keep reminding me, I made some history and a name.

Now WHAT?

KEEP SKATING

My Feets
On 1/25/2007 Chris Yandall wrote in from United States  (70.167.nnn.nnn)

After I got out of highschool in '73, I headed back to Cali and hooked up with my oldest brother Ed who was a Wind and Sea local living near Tourmaline Surf Park just south of PB point. Enrolled at San Diego State, got a job at PB Surf shop and lived to surf with hopes to get a skateboarding career someday(still working on that too). I enjoyed skating barefoot everywhere. Being of samoan decent, my genetics seem to support tuff feet. That pic was after a 40mph crash at la costa where I only had shorts on. Speed wobbles led to a spectacular crash where I remained conscious enough to spread the road rash wealth evenly over various parts of my body. Needless to say, I was barefoot during that crash. And of course a day after it happened, we got the best swell we've had the entire year and yep.. you guessed it, I surfed my brains out with festering wounds and sometime during that next week Skateboarder Mag was interviewing me, got the pics and suddenly me feet were the talk of the globe.

As of today, I have a pedicure at least once a month. They are pampered now.

Cheers and thanks for asking!

Chris' Feet
On 1/25/2007 PG wrote in from United States  (198.151.nnn.nnn)

Chris,

That picture of your feet has always given me the willies. I remember the same picture also appeared in a book called "Hot Skateboarding" which was a great book for the day as I recall, a lot good info and very well written. Its been about 20 years since I last saw a copy, so it might read like a kooks guide to skating now. Maybe I will find a used copy somewhere someday.
Was that normally how your feet looked or was that after a crash?

Paul
