Happy Birthday Uncle Chucky

I first met Chuck Barfoot in the late 1970's when he was still working with Tom Sims. From our very first meeting, I knew Chucky was the real deal, a no BS kind of guy. Chuck always took real good care of Paul Dunn, Gary Fluitt and myself when we were riding for Sims, he even gave us some of his "secret sauce" bearing lube before one of the Capitola races.

Chuck has been around the surf, skate and snowboard industries for a long time now and has never really received the credit he deserves, so it was nice to see this piece in the Santa Barbara Independent...read and enjoy.
