You can’t visit San Diego without going to see Bird Huffman at Bird’s Surf Shed. And that’s exactly what Niki Hurren and Joe Walsh did in this week’s episode of Get Out and SURF.
Located in a hidden Quonset hut on W. Morena Blvd, at the crossroads of Bay Park and Linda Vista, and within striking distance of every surf spot between Black’s Beach and Sunset Cliffs... welcome to Bird’s Surf Shed. Bird keeps over 1000 surfboards in the Shed, some of which are for sale, many of which you can ride if you just say please. Hear stories about the infamous local surfboard craftsmen of the area, the origin and resurgence of the fish, and the fine line between being a surfer and owning a surfing business.

In this episode we share our personal stories of how we’ve introduced the ocean and surfing to our children, and the lessons that we’ve learned along the way.

Join Niki, PMAC, and Joe Walsh for the 2nd annual Great Lakes Surf Festival in Muskegon, Michigan. Most people don’t even realize you can surf on the Great Lakes. We really had no idea what to expect, and were stoked with what we found. This was a great episode, sit back, relax and enjoy. Pura vida!
