circa June 1991...

...diving into a box of old surf mags from 1991, I found what could quite possibly be the first Mayhem shape to appear in the Design Forum section of Surfer magazine. Matt Biolos had begun to establish the Mayhem surfboard label before he and Mike Reola formed ...Lost clothing and surfboards. This design, which was shaped and paint-penned by Biolos, was typical of the perennial Matt Archbold model: 6'2" double wing swallow, 18 1/2 wide x 2 1/8 thick. San Clemente's finest, next to the Fletcher family of course...

In this same magazine there was a shot of Pete Lopez in the "People Who Surf" section. It mentioned something about his two young sons, Cory and Shea.

hmmm...wonder how those kids turned out?

I still can't believe a kid from the west coast of florida pulled into that wave at teapoo(s/p?) like cory did a few years ago. That guys gotta trip over his own balls!
