Q&A with LONGBOARD BILL
Name/nickname: Bill … but I do hear “Longboard Bill” now and then
Stance: Regular
Crib: Greenwood Village, CO
Years Surfing:
River — when did RRP start? 5 years?
Ocean — standup surfing = 38 years. Bodysurfing/mat & bodyboard riding since before I can remember … probably ~46 years.
Current Favorite Boards:
6’ x 22” x 3” mini longboard cut down from a 6’5”
4th Gear Flyer surf mat – “The Fatty”
4’ x 13” x 3/8” piece of plywood
Favorite surf spot(s):
River — RRP’s Sixx
Ocean — Shell Island/Mason’s Inlet, NC. When the sandbars line up and it’s really on, there’s a long, world-class rivermouth break on both sides of the inlet.
One Word Comment: One word is kinda hard… going to have to go with “Thanks!” (Because that’s what I’m thinking whenever I walk up & see a wave to ride – and “stoked!” Is probably already taken)
