Homeboy graduates law school in a week and has decided to spend his summer patroling Badland Beach from 1st street to Irish Point. Mitch Buchanan would be proud. A few pix from the mid-week tour...

Mikey Singles sent this jazzy text after the AM sesh:

“Today was so much fun. I like surfing with those dudes (Clams, the Swiss and FMB) Jon Bless is the man, we would give each other waves and shit. Everyone was hooting each other. I live for days like today”

Onetime!

-Hawaiian Surfriders 1935 by Tom Blake (Essential!)

Came across a couple of NY references in Hawaiian Surfriders 1935:

"Mullahey rode at New York...Duke P. Kahanamoku at Atlantic City and Ocean City, New Jersey, Nassau and Long Island, New York, 1912-1918." (pg. 67)

"To Mullahey of Honolulu and Valley Stream, NY goes the credit of making New York lifeguards 'surfboard minded' he battled for several years, as a lieutenant in the famous Jones Beach Life Guard Patrol, to show them the value of the surboard in rescue work. So when I came along with the improved hollow boards they were ready and eager to accept them. (pg. 69)

"Two hollow wood surfboards hinged and folded together would easily open up flat in an emergency providing a raft superior and safer than the inflated boat. It would amount to an efficient catamaran, or two pontoon boats, such as used by lifeguards at Rockaway, New York" (pg. 74)
Who is this Mullahey guy? He sounds Irish...
