yeah i never had the clear grip but the fat kid up the block did.. we had a neighborhood crew called "team flaming embryo" wrote that shit all over everything.

*memory return
Ok I did have the pinedesign and my neighbor had the other board. we build 1/4 pipes in the street and rode parks and pools
started surfing after the parks closures in the late 70's. Rode some vert at my neighbors when I first moved in to my space 8 years. but then school and old bones started to curtail that.
