Corky: Surfing Heritage and Cultural Center draws a lifetime of influential people (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They just held the official opening of the new Surfing Heritage and Cultural Center in downtown Laguna Beach; it’s an amazing place. Over the opening weekend, there was a big gala fundraiser party to kick the doors open and get things going, and I got to go to it. What a great night that was, wow. Instead of talking about the place, I have already done that, I thought I would tell you about my night at the party. Specifically, about some of the people I saw there and their significance in my own
Corky: All that was killer about Killer Dana (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I get asked about Killer Dana all the time. Mostly, about what made it so “killer,” or just about what it was like there before the harbor. For those of you who are newer to the area or don’t know the history behind this legendary surf spot, let me fill you in on some background information. Dana Point was one of the premiere surf spots on the California coast back when I was a kid. There were actually a number of surf spots in Dana Point at that time.

I just got the announcement and my invitation to the official grand opening of the new Surfing Heritage and Culture Center in downtown Laguna Beach the weekend of Sept 18-20.

Corky: When life hands you a broken board, you use a lot of resin to make it yours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I was maybe 11 or 12 years old, I built a surfboard in my backyard. It was the first, and thankfully only, time I attempted this. I had no idea what I was getting into or what I was doing. Here’s the story. One day the surf was huge at the Surfside Jetty, and there were a few guys out riding it. At that time, there was no beach there, just big jetty rocks. If you lost your board, it was gonna get destroyed as the waves pounded into the rocks with full force at high tide. And, as would have
Corky: The threads that connect modern day surfwear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Surfwear has become a huge industry over the past 65 years. I have seen it grow and seen it go through all kinds of changes over the years. Money from the big surfwear companies has been at the heart of professional surfing and a major source of income for the top professional surfers since the 1960s. Many brands have come and gone, some have endured. But only a few; most flame out at one point or another for various reasons. Today I wanna talk about when it all got going and a couple of, at lea
