Surfing is ART! Chapter 9 - CORKY CARROLL

In Chapter 9 on Surfing is Art we are blessed to feature surfing legend Corky Carroll
Corky Carroll - The First Professional Surfer
Fun Fact: Corky Carroll is considered the first professional surfer of all-time.
So it just makes sense that the first surf school in Huntington Beach be named after him. But long before he joined Rick Walker in forming our surf school, Corky was making waves dating all the way back to when he was a little grom.
Here’s a brief highlight reel of the Man, the Myth, the (Surf) Legend that is Corky Carroll:
