Surf talk..........

"Always loved Van Straalen because he has an open listening head on design..and life. When no one was into the softs when I brought them here in the early 80s.. He was fullly attentive to their virtues....and always encouraging to the spirit of inventiveness...he aint no sheep".

Rusty Miller....Soul surfer
