I don't know why they call him Pinky...

But I know that every time I see him out on his Isle SUP quad- he's throwing bigger lippers and longer floaters... plus he's the only guy I've seen on our beach legitimately stuff himself into a barrel on a stand up board. But I still don't know the origin of his handle...

He got the name Pinkie from his pink skin. He's been killing it on his SUP!!!!

Hey Anon-

Hah- make's sense- he ain't the tannest guy around. Saw him in the water on Sunday, or should I say I heard him in the water. He was clowning me from the outside as I was getting frickin' tooled over and over again trying to paddle out.

I eventually had to go in, walk to the rip on the southside and try again. Sucks to get barred but with a "no duck dive option" sometimes you've got to swallow the pride and find a smarter way outside.

Pinky heckled continually.

True. The smarter way outside is the better a way.
