Stacy Peralta Instagram – If my memory serves me it was Tony Alva who spoke up at a Zephyr Surf Team meeting one evening, saying to Skip and Jeff; “You have the three best skaters in town on the surf team, you might as well get the other skaters in town and start a skate team.” – Before skateboarding ever took off, Tony, Jay Adams, Alan Sarlo, Matt Warshaw, myself and a few others were sponsored members of the Zephyr Surf Team all with the hopes of carving out some kind of career in surfing but totally unaware that it was the wheels beneath our feet and not the fiberglass fins that our future resided. —. The image I’ve posted is from Vol 16, issue #1 of Surfer Magazine 1975 detailing the challenge between the two surf shop teams. It might be added that ET Surfboards, in addition to having an amazing surf team also had Mike Purpus who was one of California’s best and most influential surfers at that time, that we beat them really shows the depth of talent and madness that made up the entire Zephyr collective. | Posted on 17/Jan/2023 01:37:43
