Jeff's Inspirations

We just updated Jeff's biography with this quote, paying tribute to some of his inspirations:
My inspiration comes from some of the coolest people on Earth. First, my mom and dad for buying my first board in 1964, an 8'6'' Mozel (mini-board for that time). Second, my brother Rico for getting my ass of my Chopper Schwinn Stingray and dragging me along with his cool teenage friends to surf. I'm so lucky they tolerated a punk kid!! Here's my teachers and guys I looked up to: Jeff Ho, Dick Brewer, Owl Chapman, Mike Casey, Tony Channin, Donald Takiyama, Bill & Bob Bahne, Jeff Lickton, Randy Pidd, Sam Cody, Tracy Richmond, Bill Bateman, Wayne Gracey, Edy Crachek, Dwain Brown, Gary Speece, Ken "Planet Crush" Bradshaw, John Orlando, Craig Hollingsworth, Willis Brothers, Louis Ferrera, Mark Lidel, Dennis & Glen Pang, Glen Minami, Trank Pascal, Naish Brothers, Harrold Igi, Brad Milstine, Ron Roush, Randy Hogan, and Lonny Brothers.
