Nice interview and write-up in Encyclopedia of Surfing on long time friend and Legend Mike Tabeling, who has terminal cancer.
Mike provides interesting insight on his lifestyle and comments on fellow East Coast Legends of that time ... Gary Propper, Bruce Valuzzi (RIP) and Claude Codgen.

So stoked to have surfed with and traveled with these guys back in the '60s.

Cool interview. Thnx for da link!

It wasa good read.  I only met Mike a couple of times in the 1970s.  It was nice to see him being honest about his past drug dealing. Many Surfers that are now  Born Again Conservatives try to hide from their past.  

Agreed, many thanx!!

Heres to Mikes recovery
