“He showed me a lot of aloha”

Letter to Southern Man Surf Shop

I was travelling by myself on a surf trip in Jan-Mar. 1990 and met one of the employees by the name of Byron Lovering.

I also met Kent Saunders and he was super nice to me as well. I left my broken board at the shop before I left for home, sold it and he sent me the money! (see attached letter). Say Hi to Kent for me and if you see By […]

I also think that with the shorter nature […]

Sept 2016 Delievery Rip Curl Ulladulla (02) 4454 4904 – 138 Princes Highway ULLADULLA NSW 2539 Take your good wave game to conditions that are not. The Sampler was developed with Dane Reynolds to be that step-down board you ride a little shorter and wider in smaller or weaker surf while not sacrificing performance. It fits in your quiver between something fishy like a High 5 or Pod Mod and your normal shortboard.Loosely based off the Dumpster Diver, it has flat, racy entry and center roc […]
