This page averages 1000 hits per week. It was put on the web in late 1993 and to my knowledge was the first surf oriented Internet web site. I plan to attend old friend Dick Dale's performance on May 22 at the Rams Head in Annapolis, Maryland. A unique group of legendary surfers including David Nuuhiwa and myself will be making a trip to Mexico June 7-17 for a special history making event. David will set the official World Records for noseriding and hanging 10.
Beginners are welcome to go along and learn to surf from the legends.
See the announcement above. This is basically a computer generated copy of my original 1977 book which includes organized school surfing's history, learning to surf, coaching, judging, shaping, glassing, and about anything else you can think of. Signed copies and HB Pier pictures available. I'm also often asked to speak at schools or judge contests. I enjoy these chances to stay in touch with my roots and usually make an effort to help if I can.
