Jim Habig

Henry Ford

Henry is a legendary California surfer who is a mainstay in many aspects of our surfing culture. Henry started surfing along the sand bars in the South Bay, Hermosa, Redondo, Manhattan and Torrance beaches, way back in the early 1950’s. He was a star in many of Bruce Brown’s early surfing movies including “Slippery When Wet,” “Surfing Hollow Days” and “Barefoot Adventure.”

During the era of surf clubs he, along with his pal and another classic surf legend, Freddy Phauler, were part of the infamous “Double Duce Danglers” of 22nd Street in Hermosa Beach. He was also a regular at Malibu during the summers along with such notables as the surfing “king of pop” himself, Terry “Tube steak” Tracey, Mickey “da Cat” Dora, Johnny Fain, Mike Doyle, Mickey “the Mongoose” Munoz and “Gidget” herself.

Messing around in boats, in and out of the water, freediving, surfing and spearfishing, has been a way of life.

Michael has spent most of his life globe-trotting, exploring off the beaten track, and getting to know some of the world’s most beautiful destinations and world-class surf breaks. From skiing in Japan and Europe to surfing in Asia, Michael has also spent extensive time travelling and living in Indonesia, becoming familiar with both the language, Indonesian culture, and the way of life.

GREG EICH

When one spends the majority of their time surfing, fly-fishing, diving and skiing, where you wake up will tell the tale just how much time you will spend on the water or on the hill. After a few years at University of Colorado in Boulder, Greg left on yet another of his lengthy travels in search of waves, native textiles, and of course any fish with an impressive address. After returning to Colorado and opening his first art gallery, Greg realized he was too far from the water to surf, sail, salt water fish or dive, That brought him back to East County, San Diego toset up private practice as a Navaho textile conservator and of course, sales. This allowed me to settle into a pattern of moving and working between great mountains and beaches including Hawaii, New Mexico, New Zealand, and Cabo San Lucas, where he was co-owner of a marlin fishing fleet, surrounded by uncrowded waves.
