Yancy Spencer III – Cape Hatteras, 1974ish
Larry Pope captured so much of the beauty of Yancy’s style here. Also, Yancy tended to puff his cheeks when he was doing his turns, thus he had the nickname – “puff cheeks”. Larry caught that as well. I believe the board was a Hank Warner shaped AGP single fin.

Yancy Memorial Surf Contest is ON tomorrow at the Pier!
