November's Member of the Month

Hawaiian South Shore's Member of the Month - Mark When and what got you into surfing?  I grew up in Brooklyn, New York so surfing was really limited.

They were renting surfboards on the beach, so my dad rented me one and I paddled out, no lessons, no tips, pure kook in the water. It was the late 60's so the board was fairly cumbersome, but there was a young, tan, blonde haired college girl who took pity on me and spent some...
