WALKER TIME CAPSULE - "ERIC PENNY" Surfing Issue #4 Unseen Film Footage: 1972 Huntington Beach, California USA. 1974 La Libertad, EL SALVADOR Runtime: 2m 36s Eric Penny (R.I.P.) was inducted into the East Coast Surfing Hall Of Fame on January 5, 2022 at Surf Expo in Orlando, Florida. He pioneered surf travel early on, mainly throughout Central America. In later years, having been diagnosed with cancer, Penny spent his last days paddling into some of the biggest waves ever ridden on the North Shore of Oahu, most typically surfing alone on outer reefs without benefit of jet skis or photographers. His big wave charging is legendary and there are no known films or images of his outer reef exploits.

WALKER TIME CAPSULE - Skateboarding Issue #3 Unseen Footage: 1987 Cocoa Beach, Florida USA. Skater: JIM McCALL, Florida Skateboarding Hall Of Fame (Inducted 2002). Jim McCall is known for being one of the 1st East Coast pro skateboarders (1976) as well as being a Top 5 world pro freestyler in both the 70s & 80s. He was also an aerial pioneer in skateboarding, but we'll save that part for a later Time Capsule video. McCall's Pro Freestyle deck from Walker, as ridden in this video, was essentially designed by Walker teammate Rodney Mullen around 1979-1980, while Rodney was still amateur. McCall's skating was a major influence to a young Rodney, and conversely McCall learned plenty from Mullen in return. Jim trusted Rodney's ideas on board science and cut him loose to create Jim's shape. Music: JOHN McGUIGAN from "Where The Desert Meets The Sea" 8mm Analog Video Capture, upscaled to 4K.

"You didn't quit skateboarding because you got old. You got old because you quit skateboarding." Quote from my friend, Jay Adams (R.I.P.) This past December, I reached one of my lifetime milestones in skateboarding by turning 70-years-old while still continuing to skate on a regular basis, which I've been doing since age 11. This recent footage was taken 3 weeks before my 70th birthday. Skateboarding hasn't been around very long historically, so we really don't know yet age-wise, how long you can legitimately continue to be a skateboarder. Early last year I ran into a few obstacles, namely my heart started beating out-of-sync, with an incorrect electric firing pattern, due to a rogue gene that I inherited. Deadly stuff. After a "Cardioversion" procedure "shocked" my heart back into correct sync, it only held for a week before it reverted back to improper firing once again. I have a team of 4 excellent cardiologists at Queen's Heart in Honolulu who have made this past year not only bearable, but are responsible for me feeling exceptionally well the vast majority of the time. They've not only given me the green light to continue skateboarding but have actually encouraged it, although with a stern warning about the dangers of impacts or crashes while being on blood thinners. Currently I'm scheduled for the implanting of a Pacemaker/Defibrillator sometime later this summer. I'm stoked cuz that will stabilize my heart rate and bring the electro-physics closer to proper alignment. I'll be looking forward to skating more often and should also be able to get safely back into the ocean again. Bruce Walker HD Video Capture, upscaled to 4K.
