Yep that was the original name I gave him before he morphed into Ozone Guy. Hope he is doing well wherever he is.

Was it a v max 4 with pink paddles?

I don't remember the sled but do recall the paddles were that raw plastic white colour.

I think Vernal Simmons was the original creator of the plastic paddles. His were flexible but pricy compared to all the guys making them homemade out of cheap plastic.

My cousin Howard sold thousands of the plastic paddles in all sorts of colors in the early 90’s.I think he sold more than anyone else. He made a chit load of money distributing them,until the rubber paddles took over around 1995.
