...floated to the shores of Tampa Bay, grew up on the streets
of West Tampa, got the Surfing bug at an early age and
pursued it during most of my waking hours. Listening
to and playing music was my second passion. Traveled
all over Florida and when I became old enough, traveled
to different parts of the world to pursue the cosmic glide.
Even though I have much more responsibility than when
I was young, I still get as much (possibly more) of a thrill
(rush, natural high, excitement etc.) out of surfing and
exploring new surfing spots.
Surfing, to me, means a very deep or even spiritual
journey in my life. The early surfers in California called
surfing "The Church of the Open Sky"and I can see why.
All the beauty that one is surrounded by is beyond
comprehension. Beyond the spiritual outlook, surfing
can be a good physical outlet and an excellent aerobic
exercise to enhance one's health.

Savannah Surf Club/December 6th Tybee Oaks X-mas Celebration
On Saturday, December 6th, Underground Boardworks Surf Shop will be participating in a Christmas Celebration going on @ Tybee Oaks. The shop will be open until 8:00 PM... All of us on Tybee and surrounding
areas are saddened by the sudden
passing of our friend, Tim Fuller.
He was an up-beat stoked dude who
always had a kind word, with an amazing sense of humor. He was also one
of the best tube riders to grace this
area. I want to thank everyone who was
able to make it down to the Tybee Pier,
the turn out was great and the vibes were heartfelt! I want to send my condolences to all the Fuller family (including all surfers who knew him because we are all a part of the 'Church of the Open Sky' and he was our brother).
