44th Annual Easter Surf Festival - updated 3/25/2008 On Thursday, as the 44th annual Easter Surf Festival began; clouds, light rain and glassy water worried some organizers – but by Friday everyone got a sweet Easter treat – waves. “I can sum up my feelings of relief in three words -- we have waves,” said John Griffin, who along with his business partner Dick Catri, brings the surf fest to life each year.   The ...

Hall of Fame Profile - Cecil Lear - updated 11/16/2007 I had the opportunity a few weeks back to interview Cecil Lear, the President of the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame and one of the founders of the Eastern Surfing Association (ESA). To say he was an amazing man is a complete understatement, yet the lesson this man had in store for me was not one I expected during my chronicles of East Coast legends.  Tom Hanks, as the infamous Forrest ...

Mother Ocean - Hall of Fame Profile of Mimi Munro - updated 10/2/2007 Mimi Munro's email address includes the phrase, "Mother Ocean," which caused me to hum Jimmy Buffett's tune in my head through my experience interviewing her.

Since this is coming out in Oc ...

When I did that story, I missed Tony and before I jump too far ahead, I think it best to stop and get to ...

Dick Catri - EC Surfing Hall of Fame Profile - updated 7/1/2007 Dick Catri is called the Godfather of East Coast Surfing for good reason. Armed only with cursory knowledge of the legend from what I had read in old stories and online, I met the 1996 East Coast Hall of Fame inductee at the door of his garden cottage on the river near the end of a torrential downpour. He welcomed me in to his refuge, a small home he purchased 20 years ago with his third wife, ...

Pat O’Hare - EC Surfing Hall of Fame - updated 6/1/2007 Pat O’Hare was inducted into the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame by Greg Noll in 1996 as one of the first inductees. Back in 1963, when the Space Coast was just starting to earn its nickname, O’Hare and buddy Ricky James moved from the West Coast and began manufacturing some of the first surfboards in the state at a shop called James & O’Hare. His father and two siblings ...
