Dick Metz was the focus of the recent biographical documentary Birth of the Endless Summer by Richard Yelland, sharing his three year adventure around the globe, a slideshow featuring Cape St. Francis with Bruce Brown, and most of all, the wonderful friends and people he met along the way. See, Dick is a people person. He opened surf shops, sold surfboards, negotiated out of difficult situations, started a clothing brand, and eventually, raised enough funds to create the Surfing Heritage and Cultural Center (SHACC) in San Clemente, home to the largest and best surfboard collection in the world, and a lot more. We so honored to have him on the podcast, and we could go on, but hear it from the man himself... Enjoy.
