2024/02/26

Jay rewinds the clock 44 years to the very first pro bodyboarding event in Hawaii, and the first-ever bodyboarding event at Pipeline. 1980's The Coca Cola Surecraft North Shore Bodyboard Classic was put on by Robb Rice, who was the sales rep in Hawaii for Surecraft's North Shore bodyboard, which at the time, was arguably the best bodyboard on the market, endorsed by bodyboarding legend, Jack "Da Rippa" Lindholm.

The Reale Deal Show #92- Rusty Morrison

2024/02/19

Rusty Morrison lives a spartan life of a traveler. He works long, hard hours as a FIFO guy (Fly In Fly Out), squirrels away his savings, and then goes on global odysseys to warm waves- a life we all aspire to. I wanted to find out what makes this DK specialist tick, so I sat down with Rusty during Bodyboard Holidays' El Salvador trip to get the down low on one of Oz's nomadic legends. http://www.bodyboard-holidays.com https://www.ebodyboarding.com/pages/bodyboarding_travel http://www.instagram.com/rust_in_peace_

The most prominent bodyboarder to come out of the UK's Channel Islands, Colin Crowther from Jersey has been there and done that. One of the earliest adopters of Tom Morey's brainchild has been at it since the beginning- as a participant, competitor, contest organizer, and even author! In recent years, he's taken to spending time searching for uncharted waves in Europe's Arctic, using internet sleuthing to locate some of his destinations. He occasionally takes forays into the tropics with Rob Barber's Bodyboard Holidays crew, and has stories for days.

The Reale Deal Show #87- Patti Serrano: Part 1

Some might call Patti Serrano one of the many unsung heroes of bodyboarding. She was there in the beginning! Tom Morey hired Patti in the late 70s to sell and promote the "Morey Boogie" and she took it from there. She built the early Morey team, including riders that became household names in the sport, organized and ran events and clinics and ran some of the very first bodyboarding events ever. Later, she started BIM Magazine and ran the BIA competitive tour. This is Part 1 of her story.
