It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of a true legend in the Treasure Coast surf community. On March 11th, Charles “Chuck” Williams rode his final wave. To honor Chuck’s life and contributions, the community will gather for a memorial paddle out on April 12th.

For over 30 years, Chuck was more than just a board shaper; he was a mentor, a friend, and an inspiration to countless surfers. His impact on the surf community is immeasurable, and his craftsmanship has graced the waters from Florida's Treasure Coast to far beyond. Today, we take a moment to honor his life, his contributions, and the incredible memories he has left behind.

Shark attacks on surfers are rare but always a concern. The good news? Recent Australian government-backed research has confirmed that personal shark deterrents can significantly reduce the risk of interactions with sharks. For surfers, this could mean safer sessions in the water. But how effective are these deterrents, and should you invest in one? Let’s dive into the details and explore how Spunky’s Surf Shop can help you stay safe in the surf.
