The Surf Doctor!
I am an avid surfer with over 20 years of ocean experience. I have surfed from Maine to Florida, all over California, Oregon, and made trips to Hawaii, Australia, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, France, Fiji, Tahiti, New Zealand, Spain, and Mexico. My home break at this time is Huntington Beach, California where I mainly surf the power plant.
