Bruce "Snake" Gabrielson and Friends
23ed Annual Snake's Luau
Chesapeake Beach, MD, September, 2011


After 23 years plus many before I moved here
I kicked off my final Snake's Luau September 3rd at 4 pm with a little historyu of the luau's over the years


Besides the regular 60s and 70s boards
I displayed a Yancy Spencer InnerLight and a Chris Hawk Freedom Hawk

Star of the show was a never ridden Dale Velzy

The Chris Hawk, a Wave Trek Balsa, and an Aliah shaped by Dave Sobel

Besides photos, paintings, and other artworks,
the Art Show held in the NSSIA offices featured a skateboard display
Shown here is one of the 100 signed remade Makaha Skateboards

Mary was the hula hoop star

Stacey also looked good

Scott helped early and had fun

Kevin Buff's Band did their usual great job

Firends showed up all day and late into the evening

The Wave Trek shop with my Velzy equipment display was open all day

2x High School State Wrestling Champ Sonny Nucci was inducted into the SMWC Hall of Fame

Some of the other Hall of Fame members got in the picture

When the regular band took a break the young guns took over


At dusk the traditional token board sacrafice on the artifical beach was followed by fireworks

Kids enjoyed the fun stuff

The bonfire on the beach after dark was a popular spot


The little partiers had a great time
