Yes I knew Dave personally I bought a Island surfboard from him that was one of my best boards I ever had it was beveled and channeled pin stipe underneath I've never seen such an awesome shape like his I remembered I used to go watch wrestling at Neil Blaisdell Center with my grand parents every Wednesday night's my friend's went once only to find out the next day they all got arrested for braking in a surfboard shop and stealing surfboards and I was shocked they ripped off Island surf shop that's where I bought my board. See my family never thought us kids to be bad but nevertheless my friend's they were all on probation for ripping off Dave's shop so stupid doing s*** like that some of them went to juvenile hall me I went surfing and another thing I want to mention that Clyde Pinero who shot officer Dave Ronk was my friend too oh yeah I was in OCCC back in the day for being bad.
