A tribute from my Dad Mike Davis. Sad, sad day indeed. Michael Hynson was the most innovative shaper ever. I watched him ride his first down railer in September '69 down in Newport during the Huntington contest. 1/3

Faster than a speeding bullet but a real handful to control - but he was really onto something. Brewer and co were with Reno's Disc board. Within weeks, he'd tweaked the planshapes, rocker and come up with a decent properly foiled fin and led the pack. 2/2
I'll be the first to admit that I've made a living off of those original, inspired board design concepts of Mike Hynson's from that moment forward. Rest in Paradise old friend. Just like Cape St. Francis-You were always one step ahead and dancing to a different drummer. All love and respect.3/3
