Chuck Dent - Huntington Beach, October 1963

Chuck wasn't the most athletic surfer in the water, but
he taught the entire surf industry how to merchandise.
During the early 60’s, surfing took off around the world. It was during these days that my father, Jim Driver, started getting interested in photography. During the day, Jim caught rides to the beach and photographed many of Southern California’s surfing inovators. At night, in his darkroom, he carefully developed his photos into classic images that captured the 60’s style.

I just came across this site. You can't believe the memories it brings back. Chuck Dent taught me how to surf in 1963.
Art - We're stoked to re-open all those old memories.
Thanks, Bob D.
