I agree with lance....As a teenager I surfed Galveston and Surfside, my bro and fellow surfers at GPHS, plus would watch local tv news and call friends at Ball High for surf reports. Or call Bingo then many years later friends that had beach houses put up camera to record surf condition. Many had a gauge out on the deck, the camera could see the measuring stick and waves at same time, it gave viewers an idea of the wave size. Then came the iPhone and intertube. I purchased the first model of the iPhone just for the internet, purchased a subscription of Acutratz surfcam (surfhouse) etc. I had a long bed truck with a cover, kept 3 surfboards 5'4" 8'6" & 9' lighten bolt Craig Hollingsworth and other surf gear in the truck bed ready to go because I was in the know! I would be headed to work at Gallery Furniture and look at the surf report then call in to tell boss I was headed to the beach. On the way I would call my bro and friends, the crew cab F-250 would ride with 6 six surfers and as many or more surfboard stacked in the 8' long bed with lid down. I know I will hear from many that there is no way to have 9' longboard(s) in an 8' long truck bed and the lid cover down and locked. Can any of you guess who I am ?
Thank you for doing this on the regular. Greatly appreciated
