He still charges, see him at the point and old mans alot. Specially during winter swells, taking off on double over head bombs. Very chill guy, never a ounce of agro, he's there to surf...
I grew up in San Diego. . around this time 1969. . Skip shaped a board for me, a 7' 4" that I so wish I had never sold. I competed on that board and did very well with it. It had that magic quality that is so hard to describe. Skip is also such a nice guy.
@RoyStewart wow roy stewart on youtube. skip and his boards ride waves much better than you or your equipment ever will. AND, he was doing it 40+ years ago. when you insult him and his equipment, you expose yourself for the narrowminded new zealand wanna be you are.
@bartgos A ridiculous statement. Frye can't even string two logical sentences together. In my opinon his surfing is awkward inefficient flapping, and his longboards are poorly designed.
love skip's completely unpretentious surfing. It was all about trim, not even about style. The style just flowed out of the focus on trim. It came naturally.
As a grom I patterned my surfing from watching Skip Frye shredding at the Point, Cove and Hairmo's. I did the same from seeing footage of Nat Young and Billy Hamilton too.
Frye's surfing style is obviously some of the best. More importantly, you were out there ahead of the pack as an East Coast surfer / movie maker. Great clip and classic Yerkes music as usual. Will

How dare you sir!
The world knows, the most accomplished surfers require a day-glo wetsuit, a helmet and a 13' board shaped like a banana to properly carve a curl...
Bazinga!

As usual, Roy makes a fool of himself. Mainly because he never learned to surf. The problem is, as usual, Roy's mental disorder.

Respond to this video... having an opinion on the efficiency of a surfboard does not constitute mental disorder.

90% awkward flapping, many uncoordinated moments. The problem is as usual the board design.

This guy owned PB Point even when it was packed. As a grom I patterned my surfing after Skip Frye, Billy Hamilton and Nat Young.

I grew up surfing the Cove watching Skip for years. I copied his backhand style. A true fluid, graceful surfer
