Lost LA
California’s Deep History with Surfing
Dick Metz's lifelong love of surfing began in the 1930s, when he took up surfing. He founded the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center as a way to document the sport's pioneers and innovations over the years. We talk about California surfing's early days with Duke Kahanamoku and George Freeth, the technological advances of the surfboard and how the concept of lifeguarding contributed to having fun in the sun as we know it today.
