On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast we have an incredible in-depth conversation with the legendary Mike May, a former New Jersey surfing champion and surf historian. The episode explores May's efforts in uncovering lesser-known historical narratives about early surfing in the U.S. East Coast, discussing figures such as Sam Reid, who was a protégé of Duke Kahanamoku. The discussion highlights the cultural ties between Hawaii and Atlantic City, Sam Reid’s complicated friendship with Tom Blake and their being the first to surf Malibu.
We also touch on the underinvestment issues facing Atlantic City, and celebrate the resilience of local surfing icon, Dean Randazzo and his current fight with Cancer. May has also contributed to surf literature recently with his new Children’s Book, ‘Duke and Sammy and is definitely worth checking out. May addresses the importance of preserving surfing history and fostering cultural connections while continuing to share fascinating surfing stories. This is one for the Surf Nerds out there. We hope you enjoy this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast.
