"And then there was the Liddle League probably the most noticeable of the lot in the crowded lineup. Collectively, the group worked at Greg Liddle's factory and shop in the Valley, and they surfed together daily, making the run over the hill to test the latest ideas that often sported drying hot coats, or still powdery sand jobs Surfing daily from Santa Monica to the Ranch, the boys were super smooth surf freaks in a straight-line, pivotal surf world. They knew it and they let it out. Their casual styling fit perfectly into the Malibu lines and were a direct Neolithic throwback to the Kivlin, Dora, Edwards years when smooth was cool and emulated. These guys were the real "Roots of Cool." They came as a group of round board rebels, and enjoyed the waves and the camaraderie, sliding down surfings timeline and being just as smooth as those that showed them the prophetic way. But now they were going at flank speed!"
