This #ThrowbackThursday, we’re rewinding to November 3, 1997, when the local paper featured Bruce Struck, the original owner of Spunky’s Surf Shop. Bruce was more than a shop owner; he was a seasoned surfer, mentor, and advocate for "Smart Surfing."

In the late '90s, surfing was booming, and Bruce made it his mission to educate surfers on the importance of understanding the ocean, respecting its power, and staying safe. He didn’t shy away from discussing the dangers of surfing, including shark attacks, and offered practical tips to minimize risks.

Bruce’s wisdom still resonates today, reminding us that surfing is about freedom, thrill, and a mindful approach. So, here’s to Bruce and all the surfers who ride with respect! If you’re worried about paddling out, swing by the shop to check out our shark repellents for some extra peace of mind.
