The ORIGIONAL Tales of the Tour.

[RobbyMyer]

Alright all you keyboard slappers. Here's a special gift from the time warp vault at Certified Insane. A genuine piece of jetski history. The very first Tales of the Tour Cartoon that began my illustrious personal watercraft journalism career back in 1992. Vintage $hit for you Stand-Up afficianados out there. This ran in Splash Magazine in June or July of 92 and started a series of columns I would write for Splash and others that spanned some four years.

There are preliminary talks of a return to syndication. So if you remember the Tales and want more let it be known here.

Enjoy!

Yep. IMHO the best mag in our sport. I actually think I still have every issue boxed up in the basement.

Well guys, looks like the deal is done. There will be a return of Tales of the Tour, but since Im not touring anymore I think Im going to call the new column 'Chasing Tales" The first series will be based around my return to racing at this years SurfSlam. Check in here for a link to the first Tale very soon! Thanks for your support!

Does this mean we may get to see an updated pic of that hot sister of yours?

It's doubtful this new generation remembers me or my Tales of the Tour articles that appeared in Splash Magazine and JetDreams Japan during my racing tenure in the 90s.

Regardless, the Blowsion Brainchild does, and has convinced me that I need to bring the Tales back for his groundbreaking SurfSlam Motosurf/Freeride event coming up in September. I've agreed to write a blog on www.Watercraft.com to chronicle my return to the starting line.

Follow along as the story begins with my revelation about stand up racing, buying a boat, building it into a racer, building a transport van to carry this giant beast of a ski, ride surf with the Slasher, and try desperately to get my pathetic fatass into good enough shape to survive a surf race.. all injected with the classic Tales style you OG vets used to love.

Toilet fodder from the Old School...

Thanks for reading...

I'm so stoked about this whole thing, it isn't even funny.

Can't wait to get to SurfSlam and reintroduce myself to you and introduce my 11 year old son to one of the legends.

I remember the team name "Factory Fast".

Hey I found that letter you wrote them, I just googled your name and that page came up from there website I posted it below.


"Dear Splash
My name is Harrison and I ride jet skis. I like to go fast. I put a aftermarket head on my ski to make it go real fast. I plan to put a pipe on it soon to go even faster."

Thank you,

Harrison
