Dead: "Tubesteak" Tracy. Who? Oh, he was a legend in the Malibu and Orange County surfing communities, but I wouldn't expect you to know that. But he left one lasting legacy you might know: There was this short girl who came to his Malibu shack wanting to surf, Kathy Kohner, and he gave her a nickname that stuck and became famous when her father wrote about it. That nickname was Gidget. The Kahuna in the movies was based on "Tubesteak." And, no, I am not going to discuss that nickname he had himself. (Orange County Register)
