I will always remember an event,  but think it was I was Pacific beach. Somehow I got hooked up with the duo of Terry and Marty at some surf contest. I remember things were in some full blown party mode and somehow I was on some roof top with Marty with a few others.  I remember then seeing a troop of cops marching down the street toward our particular venue and remember being a bit freaked out and wondering what the hell we were going to do.  Marty was cool and just like his smooth style of his surfing and without any hesitation heaved a half full can of beer off the roof and we bolted.  I could not believe it!  I knew I was in way over my head hanging with this guy.   Somehow and not sure how..... it turned out to be the ultimate diversion  and now think maybe some performance art ...     We escaped like a heavy lip of the wave fully covered and escaped into the night.  Marty did not break a sweat and the fun of  it never left  for a moment him or Terry even in the jaws of the PBPD.  I really did not hang with this guy much and wondered if this was just an average everyday adventure for him and Terry?  I learned that this guy is not your everyday can tosser, a very smart guy. Latter I admired his pioneering of the H2O mag and that rag was very cool and always enjoyed seeing him when I did. I know he will escape under the lip if needed, this guy is a legend and wish him a good recovery...
