Inspired by “Endless Summer” our next guest went on his own quest, to surf perfect waves in faraway places. The video is from 1966, he was 16 yrs old. He and his brother went to Puerto Rico (no parental guidance). The photo is 50 years later same spot in Puerto Rico. Still inspired and living the dream.

Grog lived on the beach in Seaside Heights. He and his brother rode rubber mats before they started surfing. It’s crazy how much trouble East Coast surfers had to endure to surf the chilly waters. Imagine having to baby powder your body to put on an all smoothie 6 mil wetsuit!? Listen to this week’s episode with with Grog Mesanko @billabong_nj !!
