Paul Strauch- A Legend Within Surfing's Genesis

Send us Fan Mail I was brought up to respect my elders. Though I am respectful, most of the time ( I fault here and there lol), with everyone, there is an extra layer of admiration that I have for those who have experienced life and its challenges to their senior years. And if someones life experiences involve surfing.... boy, you gotta my attention and ears. In that context, what if ....you are an individual that experienced the evolution of surfing , surf culture and its history by being part of it, in a bigger way than most. Then I am dumbfounded! Our interview on this episode is of such a man and surfer, an individual with an immense history of surfing accomplishments and stories. His footprints are marked eternally in the books of surfing. Due to time constraints I had to cut the interview short but not without promising Mr. Strauch that I would reach out for a second recording of his surfing memories and tales. Next time I want to do it in person so I can shake his hand and perhaps catch some waves with the man. Topics: Beginnings Waikiki 40's and 50's Duke Kahanamoku Tom Blake Custom Surfboard Surf Teachings of George Downing Surfing the North Shore for the First time Californians in Hawaii Game Changer Boards Al Nelson Surfboards Barry Kanaiaupuni The Aikau's The Ten Rapid Fire Segment Listeners Questions Shoutouts Thanks to Brandon Strauch in coordinating and helping out in making this interview possible.
