Surfer Cowboy




One of the first people I met in Santa Cruz this trip is Bill Farrington. Must say that he is probably one of the nicest persons I have ever met. His house, our home base whenever we surf Pleasure Point, has such a warm and welcoming vibe that you'll feel completely at home right upon walking up his front porch.
Bill loves to have close friends over and cook hearty meals for everyone to enjoy. He makes the best grilled chicken, burgers, and potatoes, not to mention fresh home made tortillas!

As he would always say, " When it's all said and done, I think the most memorable times we spend are having meals with our friends."

A sustainable agriculture advocate, our surfer cowboy really practices what he preaches as he makes sure that almost nothing goes to waste in his house.




Annie girl! :)





Ashley Lloyd's board that she graciously let me use

One of the high lights after surfing in cold water-Bill's outdoor hot shower!!! He made it from beautiful recycled mosaic tiles and discarded fence wood planks.

  4. How does it feel to be a Super Star? Sooo blessed to know you bro & have you in my family's inner circle. Mentor, friend, brother to my son & I. Though the waves in the water, as in the waves of life are inconsistent, you my friend are as consistently cool as they come. Generous & gracious to all on land (& sometimes out in the water, haha, after u got the last wave) Yeah, I guess that makes u a super star alright. ;-)
