I always thought and remembered the Blalock brothers origianlly opened and shaped surfboards there at 1908 S. Orlando Ave in Cocoa Beach riginally and had the 'Seeker Surfboard, Inc.' from 01/26/71 in Florida Corporation registration #376178 that expired "Inactive" in 05/23/73.I remember Mark Glasser too! The Blalock brothers attended the original Cocoa High School, which became the now Rockledge High School in '70-'71. The Blalock brothers graduated from the original Cocoa High in ' '68-69'-'70 ahead of me. They had a sister behind me one grade named Janet. I spent time there shop in '71 when they opened watching them create, shape and finish surfboards by hand. After I got rid of my 10'-6" Ohare Nose-Rider, then my 9'-2" Dewey Weber, the Blalocks made me a 7'-6" Seeker. Grew up  50's & 60's in Cocoa, surfing at CB Pier, Inside Jetty Rocks during Hurricanes, 2nd and 4th street south, PAFB picnic tables, Sebastian, Nort's La Scene, Ron Jon's when it was a 30'X 50' hole in the wall building in the '60's. Seeker Surfboards were the cheaper costing local surfboard to buy to beat Ron-Jon's inflated prices back then. I graduated from the new Cocoa High School the first year it opened in 1970-1971. Man am I old, maybe dementia or amnesia has taken over!

 

Johnnie Blalock was briefly involved with Seeker Surfboards, mainly in retail sales. Jim MacDonlad and Buddy Smalley (rip) also worked in the retail shop. This helped with the problem of the 3 partners frequently closing the shop to go surfing. Chris Martin first got his fingers sticky laminating boards, went on to become a boat builder. Alan Worthington (rip) was first team rider.

I grew up in SatBch. I seem to recall 2nd St So was also called "Grannys". Does that ring any bells for anyone? Dingpatch, you're really good with old surf spot names, whatcha' got? Maybe it was just a SB thing. Think I got it from David Judson, old Catri Hobie team rider.
