Clyde on the left, and birthday boy Tat’s on the right. most people know him as Eddie, but i know him as Tat’s. i met Tat’s when i was 14 years old. we were friends ever since. surfed a lot together, drank a lot together, raced volkswagon’s at sandy beach together, and did other crazy things together. Tat’s use to be a very small japanese boy in high school that could fight like jackie chan. so when the big locals tried to pick on him, he would chop them all up in 5 seconds. a guy that doesn’t take shit from anyone, a guy that will stand up for his rights, and a guy that would protect his family and friends like an angry lion. i respected that part of him all these years. a great surfer, a great guy, and a great friend. Happy 50th Birthday Tat’s! sorry i ran away last night. i got scared when i seen all the shots and didn’t want to crash on the motorcycle driving home last night. i’ll catch you again!
