Dale is a living legend. I am positive his record will stand for an eternity.
What's even more impressive is that he did this feat in one of the least friendly surf zones on the California coast.

My GF has interviewed him a number of times and he is a very humble man.

Congratulations Dale!

I think the coolest thing about this unbelievable feet is that he did it for the sole reason that he alone wanted to do it. No sponsors, no money, not even breaking an existing record, just something he wanted t do for himself.

This is a coincidence, but out of the blue I was just thinking about this guy today. I was remembering the story about him surfing everyday rain or shine etc. I was pissed off at a co-worker for being so out of touch socially, but works in a people service job. I said F this place I think I'll just go surf everyday and check out. Just dreaming etc. but made me think about Dale Iam and was wondering if he was still alive and surfing daily etc. Well got my answer quickly!
Thanks for sharing 8)

It's amazing how wrinkled you get from a life on the ocean.  The sun and salt do that to you...to me.
