"Dear Alan, Thanks for posting this story I love reading them still. I have a hard time facing the fact that it will be 2 years in August and it has been a tough road without him. His spirit still remains in the surf of Little Dume I feel his…"

Nick Brokaw replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"I think a bronze statue of Dusty as 'guardian of little dume' would be awesome... i'd personally go and make sure its good and shiny

Audrey Shubin replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"I think the plaque would be a great idea. It's important not to forget Dusty and to keep things the way he would have wanted them!!

Kai Sanson replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"Allan, great story. I'm down for no leash day. Outers was a lot different back then...everyone had to their respect, and their spot out in the lineup."
Steve Rozsa replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"I'm not sure Dusty would like a sign or plaque. Lets face it, it was Dusty's presence that brought order. I think a bronze statue would be awesome, Dusty could still be the guardian and I think having a statue would impart those unspoken…"
Alan White replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"So let's do it Matt - DUSTY'S RULES - how's this for starters:
Respect the Ocean. Respect each other.
Don't drop in - the surfer inside has right of way.
Don't snake - don't manouvre quickly inside to gain right of…"
christopher drager replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"Matt, I surfed Little Pipeline and the Rock a few times with Dusty. He may be lookin' in right now so maybe just to be safe your sign might read, ".....please surf beyond the pier".

Janet Kinosian replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"I love this story though i don't really understand it! have no idea about surfing really but think it a beautiful tribute idea - someone should really follow through with this plaque. just perfect and i'd guess it would be his favorite…"
Alan White replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"I really like the idea of a Dusty's Rules signs - I think that would be really cool. How do we go about doing it?

William Mudd replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"I'm good with not wearing a leash......maybe that should be the rule everyday at Outers a.k.a "Dusty's Peak"
I do think a sign or plaque would be fitting.....what do you guys think? Maybe it could incorporate some surf rules…"
matt rapf replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"Lets do it Al. We can dedicate the signs to the memory of Dusty. Maybe the last rule should read " If you don't know who Dusty IS, please surf the Rock.""
Alan White replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"One for Dusty mate. He was a classic. Great to hear from Lynn too. Maybe Dusty's "leash free days" could evolve into Surfer's Rules signs at the top of each path. Respect for the Ocean. Respect for each other. Don't drop in.…"
Michael Schwimer replied to Alan White's discussion Leash Free Day"AMAZING!!! How about no leash week - the first of every month, and no oar days every day accept for February 1-5?
