"This is what surfing is."
TSJ | POV - "Richard Kenvin behind the polyester curtain" from The Surfer's Journal on Vimeo.
When I lived in San Diego, Kenvin was an acknowledged La Jolla surfer. He emerged from that era, a surf-design renaissance man, almost single handedly driving a modern, renewed look at one of the surf design tree's ertwhile bows: San Diego original, Bob Simmons. A year older than me, I respect and admire this guy a lot for his passion. That passion ensured that nobody will forget the pioneering and really futuristic work of Simmons, who died young while surfing in 1954 (just before he could gain purchase on the design revolution about to sweep surfing workldwide).
