I just watched ”Out in the Line-up” and was blown away. I grew up In Florida surfing on the East coast and always felt ostracized for who I was. I truly identified with the film; the piece on surfing media was particularly intriguing to me. I remember as a kid looking at the magazines and […]

Castets, entonces, buscó todas […]
