I'm a new old guy!

Postby Surftone » Fri Feb 20, 2015 7:22 am

Hi all,
Just thought I would introduce myself. I've be a surfer for over 50 years. I still hang 10 with the best of them and surfing is my life. I live in California and surf Doheny, Cardiff Reef or Blackies depending on the swell. I use to own my own surf shop back in the late 60's and early 70's. I'm an accomplished shaper and currently ride a longboard noserider. I've been blessed with having grown up in the early years of the surfing culture and was your typical California boy. So feel free to ask any questions. I love sharing my knowledge. I look forward to posting with you all.

Welcome Surftone, I'm an old Aussie surfer because of the Californian lifeguard demonstrations by Greg Noll Tommy Zahn et al for the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.
Handshake across the Pacific :lol:

Kawabunga! Welcome to the forum.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.
