As long as I can remember, there were some references to surfing going on in pop culture. Growing up in Wisconsin, where lakes and beaches regularly freeze each year, most of these images were only obtained through television.
What years Vern? Surfing came to the Great lakes in 1963 and there were surf clubs in Sheboygan, Kenosha, Illinois and Michigan... though less popular than it is today...
- Are surfing and tiki more closely connected in California and Hawaii, and less so in other parts of the country?
A. Surfing and tiki are connected big in Florida too... and in my opinion the surf stoke runs harder in Florida due to the lack of consistency in good surf.
- Which is stronger, the pull of the perfect wave, or the pull of the perfect mai-tai?
A. Perfect wave... followed by the mai-tai later that night and stories of the day's session.
- How much overlap is there between the tiki and surfing crowd?
A. I think a lot. Tiki is used quite a bit in surf advertising, clothing and store decor.
3a) Will an average joe-surfer feel comfortable in a midwestern tiki bar in the middle of winter?
A. I know I sure do.
3b) Will a midwesterner, (especially one who can't swim), fit in at a surfer beach party?
A. We'll make sure you fit in... better yet as a midwesterner you can come to a midwestern surfer beach party in Sheboygan every year at The Dairyland Surf Classic in August!
3c) Isn't it nice to have tiki as a possible link between the two groups?
A. Heck ya!
