How’s this for a throwback to the 80s/90s? These were the stickers you got out of vending machines. I got all of these from Round Table Pizza in California as a kid. My mom and I would always make them into magnets. #80s#90s#throwback#roundtablepizza#memories

Not exactly the way we are used to seeing our charging, fearless wild man Nathan Fletcher, but we love this shot. Was from an old Gotcha ad at a time when Fletchers were flying over California lineups everywhere! Legend. Photo Open House Design #80s #surfer #surfing #california #surf

🌊We GOTCHA Blew Feb, 12 1957 - May, 9th 2026 Uncle Blew — The Gotcha Guy May 3rd — “You kids alive and ok? No Friday TIOIT Report means it’s not Friday.” Blew lived for the Aloha Friday TIOIT Report. In fact, the name itself came from him after he opened our first newsletter. For more than a year, every time we sent out the TIOIT Report, he replied with encouragement, love, and his own unique perspective. He would pass along his insights — the economy, the Hawaii market, the kids, the surf industry. He always had something to say, something to share, and something to encourage. The week of his passing, our report was about KrisT being featured at the Waikiki Ocean Gallery. He showed up and talked story with the owner for an hour. And here’s the thing about Blew. He talked to everyone like they were lifelong friends. Like he already knew them. His energy was infectious. Now we have to backtrack about a year and a half. Blew is a big reason that after 10 years on the mainland, we moved home for good and set up shop in town. We had taken one trip back and had an amazing time reconnecting with friends. Blew convinced us to fly back in May for the signing of surfing becoming an official high school sport in Hawaii. He said, “Uncle Blew is going to set up meetings for all the surf shops and you kids are primed and ready to be the next IT brand.” When he said that, I’m not sure if he was making a pun because our brand is TIOIT — but whatever he meant, it convinced us to come back. In fact, we extended our trip to attend the first high school state finals. He offered to hold onto a suitcase full of Trax stickers and T-shirts. Well, we knew then and there Hawaii was calling us home. We were only going back to the mainland to say our goodbyes and told Hawaii, “we’ll see you soon” and returned to California to collect our belongings. Blew picked us up from the airport, and if anyone knows Blew’s dad’s BMW, you know the feeling. Every time he drove, there was a brief moment where you wondered if this might be your last day on earth…http://eepurl.com/0RQtXM9LZ2 #gotcha #blew #gwenstefani #hawaiisurfnews

A kid in a candy store. The one and only Wing Lam @wahooswing talks about his early love for free stickers and how his first trade show visit gave him enough stickers to wallpaper much of the original @wahoosfishtaco in Costa Mesa, CA. And they are still there today. You gotta love the passion and vision that has made Wahoo’s… Wahoo’s. Find the full interview with Wing in the @mark_schulein_passion_project podcast where he tells the whole story; from beginning to today; and it’s quite an incredible story. #passion #restaurant #fishtacos #innovator #chef
