This new museum is to my way of thinking no exception. Hopfully the museum will become a valuable learning and teaching center for future generations to come.

He literally owned the waves in Malibu and spent his last years Surfing The South of France. They did a PBS Special in America, "In Search of Mickey Dora". They found him in the South of France but he refused photography and the only shot they got was of him behind his Long Board Flipping the Camera off. He was disgusted the commercialization of the Sport and traveled the world in search of untapped spots to surf as far as South Africa. Ironic as he Stared in so many Beach Party Movies among others. Again he did it for Survival. He was one of the first to surf North Shore Hawaii for the movie "Ride the Wild Surf". He told me he did it for the money, "Survival". He also said he was terrified and rode those Big Waves up high like Malibu so he could kick out before they Closed Out. He was a Ballet Dancer on a Board. Old School, he Flowed with The Nature of the Break, not this choppy short board stuff. To this day "Dora Lives" is still painted on the Wall in Malibu. My Father is a Internationally Recognized Architect and I am Floored by the Architecture, In and Out. Hope to see it when in Europe. My Wife is Dutch. I am waiting to see who you Honor. Congratulations on a Great Forum for a Iconoclastic Sport. Well Needed. Glad Somebody got it Right. Mickey died awhile ago in his mid 60's from pancreatic cancer. He died at his fathers home in Montecito, California. One of his last interviews he was to sick to get out of bed and talk. However later the writer saw him outside in the Sun. He asked Mickey if he spent much time there. In Classic Dora Form he replied Ahhhh, You Know, Cant Die without a Tan. I miss him alot. A Rebel and Innovator on a Board. R.I.P. to Mickey, "Da Cat".
