The article of Wayne Miyata was done by the Associated Press:

Wayne Miyata was one of the first surfers to be filmed doing a successful “ tube ride” through a wave as it curls over. The footage, taken off Kawala Basin in Oahu, Hawaii, in the early 1960’s, was included in “ The Endless Summer.” The native Hawaiian was known to many Southern Californians for his fine, hand-crafted surfboards. He was an expert in the old style techniques of pinlining and glossing boards- adding color and decoration using resin.

Most mass-produced boards use airbrushing for color and designs. Wayne Miyata did it by hand. “Glossing is kind of a lost art,” Tyler Hatzikian told The Daily Breeze of Torrance. “That’s why I brought Wayne into my shop, to educate me on the traditional ways of making boards.” Friends remembered Wayne Miyata as a tough guy who was a perfectionist when it came to surfboards. “He was a Hawaiian native and he’s very much represented the Hawaiian style. He was laid back but he was a tough guy,” Katherine Hatzikian said.
