"i love this beach"
i may not have grown up in Florida, or anywhere near this beach, but
now i call this place home. so deal with it people, i'm a local now.
i like to surf any way i can, board or not. the waves on the gulf are not always
super fantastic, but u take what u get and make the best of it, right...?
so bring your longboard, shortboard, body-board, or just your body,
and come catch a few waves down by the piers. be seeing you soon...
HAPPY SURFING!
