Carl had been a devout Christian, loving husband, caring father and available for anyone who was fortunate enough to call him a friend. There are untold numbers of happy surfers who were privileged in owning one of Carl's hand shaped surfboards. Guys like Huntington Beach local Chuck Linnen, who visualizes Carl now "riding the never ending wave." Chuck also had a full quiver of Hayward boards, his favorite being a 9'10" that he broke on the Southside of the H.B. Pier, some 20 years ago.
