Before I surfed, I was a boogie boarder. My favorite spot was Sandy Beach shorebreak. I use to ride my little bicycle holding my boogie board under one arm and ride around the dangerous curvy shoreline road around Hanauma Bay. I was 12 years old. Sometimes I made it to school on time, and sometimes I didn’t. It depended on the waves. No leash, no fins, and just searching for the barrel everyday. And now 44 years later, the barrel is still my ultimate happiness…
So when I see boogie boarders still going on one knee and getting barreled, I can totally connect. I still think it’s pretty cool. Dean@Bowls…
