They're always people selling them at Kobey's Swap meet in SD on Saturday and Sundays. Many colors to choose from.
I don't see as many Bart Simpsons as I used to...
Buzzy Out!

I don't know if'n da Toe did one or not, but it would sure be fun to get a bunch of us to embelish the hell out of some of these  You know...kind of like the cows that are all over the place these days...
I have one propped up in my shop right now.

OK, so this is a surfing monkey that i modified for the SurfBeat art show a few years back. Please enjoy "Slightly Evolved":
oh and altho he has been shattered and re-assemmbled (prior to this photo), he is for sale...for 'round about $500.

I love the gorilla grip stance on the board! Ya these things are classic and kind of a rite of passage for a Mexico surf trip! They are kind of like Pugs! Cute and ugly at the same time!
