The Bonzer Legends in Sacred Craft ,San Diego

THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE


I had the magnificent idea to travel from Puerto Rico to the Sacred Craft Expo in San Diego California for an academic sabatic in surfing. After 9 hours in an airplane we arrived to San Diego with a superb weather, blue skies and a shining Sun. My first booth stop was Surfy-Surfy and for my surprise I met the legend and creator of the Bonzer, Malcom Campbell. Last year stopped in Puerto Rico on his shaping tour and made some light vehicles on our island. He knows well Puerto Rico and its surfing community! Will post some of our photos and experiences daily, Enjoy the ride!
