I Want To Be Dean When I Grow Up




If you've surfed Grandview in the last 30 years you've seen Dean Rich in the water. Dean is one of those locals who has figured life out and can clock no less then 300 plus sessions a year. Most likely a lot more. He is one of those guys who knows what the swell is doing, what spots are breaking and disappears for weeks returning with just a smile on his face from an adventure like the above.  All while starting and managing businesses along the way. 

Dean's latest business venture has impacted my life for sure. I am not rich from it but my feet are happy. A couple of years ago he started importing these Souls Australian made flip flops that have these little acupressure bumps on them that massage your feet.  He hooked me up with a pair and I have had a hard time going back to my old flops ever since. Thanks Dean for keeping my feet happy and inspiring me and others with the way you figured out life! 

I'm not sure who took the surf shots but thanks for letting me use them!
