Steven has been surfing for 47 years so needless to say he has a lovely collection of boards, both vintage and contemporary. His latest quiver is being shaped by Tom Parrish, of Gerry Lopez Lightning Bolt fame. He recently picked up a 7’5″ styro and I finally got my own surfboard, also by Tom. It’s a lovely 9’10” sidewalk and although I may not deserve such a fine board, having only been surfing for about a year, and even then, it’s mostly been paddling, I love it and have been having a great time getting to know the beast. It doesn’t like to go slow, it really seems to steady out when it’s going straight down the line on a nice, shoulder high wave. I’ve only done that a few times, but it’s been a marvelous experience. Our friend, Ron van Dongen took this great picture of us when he was here with his partner, David Rubin, last week. Thanks for visiting!
