Coldwater Surf Club

I am here for Networking

About Me

The Coldwater Surf Club was formed to promote the ideals of Aloha and brotherhood in the frigid waters of Northern California. Most of our members live north of the Golden Gate Bridge, and surf in an area known as "The Red Triangle" and most of us have had at least one run-in with the landlord. The cold, fishy waters tend to weed out a certain type of surfer, instead our lineup is filled with surfers who are there for the right reasons. If you are looking for sponsors or photographer exposure, stop at Half Moon Bay, if you have something else in mind, welcome to the cold, shark infested waters we call home. We are a member of the Coalition of Surf Clubs, and we participate in coalition meets, we host scrimages and contests, organize beach cleanups and generally have a blast.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mickey Munoz said: "Born in storms on the open sea, waves do not have gentle beginnings. They are wild at birth. Through the discipline of wind and gravity, they are transformed into rhythmic swells of uniform height still containing the power of the storm which formed them as they travel across thousands of miles to distant shores. As the swells enter the shallow coastal waters they crest, and in one last dramatic moment, display their power and beauty as they break onto the shores of their destination. It is here at the death of a storm's energy that the surfer connects with the wave, using it to express himself, just as a painter uses the canvas, or a dancer the stage. It is here between the wind and the water, that man performs an intense duet with the sea." ..........................................................." Poppa Wally Froiseth was teaching his grandchildren Kainalu and Kamakani about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me...It is a terrible fight, and it is between two sharks. One shark represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride, and superiority. The other shark stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too." They thought about it for a minute and then Kainalu asked him, "Poppa which shark will win?" Poppa Wally Froiseth simply replied..."The one you feed."

I've always been interested in surfboard design, particurlarly old designs. Someday I hope to ride a "Kook Box" and maybe shape a Hot Curl out of modern materials, and I dream of Olo's ...
