If you are the original Hot Curl artist from the early to mid 60,s I had owned the original plastic Hot Curl model and although my parents must have thrown the model out [ probably didn’t like the beer belly’ I recently found the printed cardboard full color that came with it. The size is about 3 to 4 inches wide and maybe 10 or so inches long. It is in perfect shape. Any comments on this little slice of surf history? My made in the shade is the best surf hat on the market and I used to advertise in Surfer Mag years ago. I am up in Encinitas so we are local. Always loved the rebellious inclinations of your images against the expectations of our culture. Thanks . Later
Mike
Looks like you have done well, and thought you might like a hello from your past.

Thanks Bob. Sorry I missed that night last August . I hope when another occasion comes up I can attend. There has always been a soft spot for you and Hot Curl all these years. Thanks for being there and thanks to Robert Wald at the mag for keeping the spirit alive.
