crappyface Posts: 45 Joined: 05/19/2011	Originally posted by: Tomkat Bear in mind i didnt know these guys personally, I was just in the water with them at the same time and witnessed some great surfing........ As a grom when i lived in NJ Scotty Duerr - Manasquan Inlet (circa mid 1980s) Joey Buran - Philadelphia Ave, Sea Girt, NJ (circa mid 1980s). He was in town to visit Inlet/Outlet surf shop since they carried Mike Baron (MB) surf boards which Joey surfed for a while. Joey and Ken (the shop owner) decided to surf Sea Girt instead of Manasquan Inlet to avoid the crowds and i happend to be in the water at the time and got to see a professional for the first time. It was a pretty cool experience. When i moved to FL in 1987 Kelly Slater - Ocean Ave/Sebastian Inlet (circa early 1990s) I and the rest of the Brevard County got to experience him surf as a grom. Like everyone else, knew he was the choosen one from early on. Kech - inlet early 90s Danny Melhado - Ocean Ave (circa early 1990s) Talyor Knox - Behind Quality Suites (Now the Crowne Plaza) in early 90s he was in town for a contest at Sebastian Inlet and he was staying at Quality Suites. I lived in the neighborhood across from Quality Suites and it was my home break for a couple years. Good swell was hitting the area and he was killing it. Mike Parsons/Bud LLamas - Boardwalk (circa early 1990s). Again, some pros in town for some reason and happend to be in the right spot at the right time. I have to say Mike was a lot SHORTER in person then i expected. Johnny Futch/Charli Kuhn - Some random afternoon behind the blueberry muffin circa early 1990s. Todd Morcom - drew him in a heat during the Easter Surf Fest in 1991. Needless to say i wound up watching him surf most of the heat....he caught every decent wave. Justin Carver - Some random afternoon at Boardwalk in early 90s. Smooth style... Joked with him about the Cantina Dos Amigos commercial in which he surfed with a sombraro on.... i am sure i am missing others, just cant think of them right now.... ken couldnt surf to save his life and that session was at new york ave in sea girt ------------------------- aka sh#thead

If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Wet Dreams Posts: 359 Joined: 12/12/2005	Ive seen Slater, Hobgoods ect over the years and it was mind blowing. But the one who was inspiring was a Miami local named Ron Kendl in Delray in 2007 hurricane swell. I was happy with my 1.5 sec barrels in perfect A frames, but Kendal was getting 5 second dry barrels for 3 hrs and busting giant airs all over the place. Hes not a young guy either.

I never said Ken could surf, was just saying how Buran wound up at Sea Girt......
