Today's installment of Surfboard Stories features Cousin Geoff. Yes, that's right, Cousin Geoff. That's how he was introduced to me the first time I met him a few years ago and that's the end of that. (Cousin) Geoff is just another participant who came with his board and outfit unintentionally coordinated to my backdrop. Surfers are obviously awesome. Without even trying. Period. Additionally, Geoff was the easiest to pose out of probably everyone I've done this project with. I'm thinking I need to have him give lessons on how to pose for a portrait with your surfing board. Check out Geoff, his board, and his answers to the famous nine questions below.
