Christine Petrucci nee Moller born in SA of an American mother. Had relatives in Hawaii and worked there in the mid 60's, she surfed with Tony Van Den Heuwel and knew Paul Gebauer and Blankenship. She told wonderful stories of guitar playing and mountain craters.





Jimmy Ganzer (Jimmy Z) was even trying to contact her recently. Greg Noll gave her a big wave board. Later in life she won two South African surfing championships after mothering two children - Jeffrey and Measha. Final years were spent in Jeffrey's Bay with old friends Tony Van, Shorty Bronkhorst and B.G. And in her last months, proud grandmother to Arusha.


Happy hunting, Christine ........
