Another recent addition to our boards on display is this suuuuuper clean 7'6" Eaton Bonzer with clear flexible plexiglas side fins that are secured in place with clear silicone. It was made in 2003 and has hardly been ridden. It's yet another bitchen piece of San Diego surfing history on display at your favorite surf club hangout, so next time you're in the area come check it out!

Our connections to the local jazz scene

My family have been longtime friends with Gilbert Castellanos who runs the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory. Check them out any Wednesday at Panama 66 in Balboa Park and you may just run into some fellow surf/jazz fans like I did recently. Lots of other events and venues can be found at their fantastic website.
