Surfing Surfer Socks
Description: Whether you’re an avid surfer or have never touched a surfboard, surf competitions on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, are an amazing sight to see. Locals and visitors alike gather on the beach to watch the best surfers in the world pull into 20-foot barreling waves at the legendary Banzai Pipeline. The crowd holds their breath in unison, waiting to see if the surfer is going to make it out the other side, and cheers erupt as the pro spits out of the wave unscathed.
Description: In the film Apocalypse Now (1979), Robert Duvall wears a Yater T-shirt and has a Yater Spoon board, the latter of which is stolen by the patrol boat crew (in a scene that was cut from the original version, but seen in the Apocalypse Now Redux version). Yater was unaware he would be mentioned in the movie until after it came out. Neither of the Spoons in the film are actual Yates surfboards, but rather spruced-up second-hand boards.
