California and Hawaiian surf personalities visit the Surfing Heritage Foundation


As part of a promotional tour introducing Primo Beer to California, (Primo is one of the Surfing Heritage Foundation’s sponsors this year) the Surfing Heritage Foundation hosted one of the tour stops. In addition to the visit at the Heritage, Primo also held events at Hapa J’s and the OC Tavern in San Clemente last Thursday evening April 30th.

As part of the tour, Primo had a specially outfitted tour bus built to carry Hawaiian legends and what Primo called big “Bruddahs”. This contingent included Keoni Watson, Hawaiian Big Wave Champion; Rusty Keaulana (Russ K), three-time Longboard World Champion and part of the first family of Hawai’i surfing, Spam, Primo’s official “Bombucha”; and Lanai, a top DJ on 98.5 in Oahu.

The Surfing Heritage had California legends Paul Strauch, Dick Metz, Mike Marshell, Henry Ford and Ron Sizemore on hand to greet the touring crew from Primo and to accept a longboard donation from Rusty Keaulana that is now a part of the Foundations collection.
