    Fascinating! This all so Exotic and unreal , ( I live in East ,tx. No beaches no ocean. Never seen either or a surf board , cant swim ) as its another world alien of sorts . I can't begin to fathom how surfing is done and that's there so much blue water and Beautiful environment in this world . Well back to the barren , desolate Ruin in my part of the world , i am not in hell, but i can see it from here .

    Very good, thanks for making this video!
  • Informative video, but I would advise to add more details... The history before Duke is limited, and the Endless Summer movie I think deserves to be mentioned for its impact.
  • My mother used to surf. She grew up on the eastern shore. Ocean city is a hotbed when comes to surfing. Even surfers from canada would go to Ocean city. My mother loves the Ocean. She even road on a dolphin one time.

    What about before he Sport? Surely it was a method of travel around islands?

    A few minor inaccuracies. Love the old footage and appreciate the honoring of Duke's legacy.
  • Epoxy surfboards were developed by Florida surfer Greg Loehr and California surfer Clyde Beatty in 1980. They weren’t widely accepted until Clark foam closed in 2005 but, as you stated, are the cutting edge. Greg Loehr was recognized for this development by the International Surfboards Builders Hall of Fame in 2016
