A Surfing Pioneer
George Strempel's story is like a history of modern surfing. He began surfing in 1942, and besides a brief hiatus in the navy during WWII, never stopped until his body was worn out. His life is like a history of modern surfing. He was there for paddle boards, redwoods, balsas, hot curls, and fiberglass. He collaborated with the great surfing innovators of the twentieth century. He's a founding member of the San Onofre Surfing Club, and an inductee of the Huntington Beach Walk of Fame. He's also a true gentleman, and all around nice guy.
