Surfing radio waves

Congrats to KZSC listener Phillip from Vallejo! Phillip was surfing the radio waves and heard about the opportunity to own an awesome surf board and support student-run community radio and dropped in for an epic ride. KZSC is grateful to the Santa Cruz Boardbuilders Guild on the Westside of Santa Cruz for supporting locally-grown radio. Phillip's new 9'2" long board was hand-shaped  by Jefferey Devine and glassed by the talented and dedicated craftsmen of the Guild. We're proud to have inspired this brilliant yellow board with black rails, sporting the KZSC logo—hand-crafted by surfers in Santa Cruz, California! Hey, did you see the surfboard they made for KZSC's Wiki Wiki Wednesday? What a work of art!
