Welcome to the Annapolis Surf Club
Description
The club was officially christened the “Annapolis Surf Club” on August 19, 2001, during a freakish meeting that took place in the lineup in Ocean City, Md. But the club's concept was born many moons earlier during Neal Carver and Bruce Gabrielson's many drives to and from DelMarVa surf sessions. Neal and Bruce began their surf odyssey in January 2001, by meeting at a convenient location in Annapolis, loading piles of cold water surf gear into the surf vehicle of the day, and hauling ass down to the shore to ride some cold waves. As the winter turned into summer, scheduling conflicts arose and Neal and Bruce found it tough to meet up on the same days. Nonetheless, Neal and Bruce began discussing the possibility of a local surf club that could meet up and share the beach commute. They knew a number of surfers that had professional careers in and around the Washington and Baltimore corridor that also loved to surf.
In May 2001, Kirk contacted Rod via e-mail, having read his posts on the alt.surfing newsgroup and after finding his web page. They corresponded back and forth several times before realizing they lived only about 12 miles apart. They never met until the chance meeting in August because of Rod's heavy involvement with his son's summer league baseball team.
In June 2001, Neal posted on the Beach-Net forum asking about other inlanders. Kirk replied and they hooked up for an initial surf trip in July 2001. Neal told of his surfing adventures with Bruce that had started during the winter. Foon, KC and Rod already knew each other from alt.surfing activities and knew of Bruce, but had not met him until the day before the inaugural blood ritual.
