Here's an interview with "Balsa" Bill (named for building and riding balsa wood surfboards), from Balsa Bill Surf Shop. He talks about his beginning to surfing, riding an 8ft balsa wood plank in the fifties in New Jersey. He was one of the first to bring surfing back to the East Coast from California in the early 60's, when surfing was all the rage in Ca. Here's Balsa Bill's website: http://www.balsabill.com/
