Every single day since September 3rd 1975, Dale Webster has surfed a minimum of three waves. Every. Single. Day. Fourteen-thousand six-hundred and forty-one days, no matter the conditions or circumstances.

That's something else. :shock:

Yeah he was the guy in Step into Liquid. He kept at it since the film was made until September 3 this year.

I understood it wrong when I read the title at first, thought he was abandoning surfing!
He is just quitting the obligation of surfing 3 waves a day every single day. But I'm sure after he makes his surgery and is recovered he is going to be surfing again.

But I gotta say, he is lucky to have a break that had waves EVERY SINGLE DAY for 40 years! :lol:
Wonder where it is

God bless Dale. He is a gentle soul.

Thanks for sharing this news, Ol' Man.

P.S. I've surfed Dale's "break" a couple of times. There are seasons when there are almost no waves. During these periods, Dale was in the water nearly all day waiting for the 3 waves. As far as I know, he never misses them.
