Hello fellow anglers. I wanted to pass along some information I received from Tiffany Ellis who is one of the chairpersons on the Douglas County Kids Fishing Derby committee. The Kids’ Fishing Derby is to return in June 2024 as reimagined callback to previous years.
"In the 1930s and 1940s, local surfers had trouble staying in the ocean for more than a half-hour, due to the frigid Alaskan Current turning their skin blue and rubbery," writes columnist Ross Eric Gibson. "They resorted to second-hand sweaters, sometimes treated with oil (a nerdy look for surfers), but they preferred 1890s wool bathing suits, which were 15¢ each at Goodwill. Then in 1959, Jack O'Neill opened his Cowell Beach surf shop where Dream Inn now stands."
