My friend, my brother, my assistant, my accomplice…
Ryan was my assistant @ Basham’s Surfboard Factory Surf Shop. I met Ryan in the back hall as he was shaping in my old shaping room that I shared with BC, & Rod Greenup. I needed help for the weekends, and after befriending Ryan as he was a customer getting blanks and boards glassed, I asked him to give it a try. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and he could learn on the fly. We soon developed a chemistry and Ryan was my mental savior! He made my days, weekends, enjoyable. We developed quite a banter with the customers. At first Ryan was in awe, & quite surprised at how I shared my sarcasm. I told him that we are the bartenders. And its up to us to make every customerʻs visit one they will remember. I told him, “Just be yourself, You got this, I have total confidence in you”.I usually would take the lead. And Ryan would fill in the blanks. I could be saucing the deal and he would be on it, tying a leash on or installing a tailpad to a customer’s new board. And we could switch roles when needed. We made everyone leave with a smile on their face, usually in laughter, and happy they came.To this day, many a customer will say, “You guys are the reason we come here to shop only on the weekends.” We had alot of fun. And we enjoyed choosing who would pick out the next surf video to play in the store. We developed a brotherly friendship after work. Grabbing dinner at Riders Club, Zen Sushi, and our latest restaurant of choice Bottega Angelina.Ryan would help me move things at my house that were too large for me by myself. We shared tastes in music. Debated political & world issues at large. We could always agree to disagree, ending our debate with sarcasm & laughter. Ryan was a hard worker who filled in doing clean up jobs no one else would do. And he enjoyed it.  He cared enough to share his life and he introduced me to his mother Dee & step dad Ben. What great beautiful people, so caring and giving. Ryan loved them.
