Listen "E49 — Grumpy Bob"
Episode Synopsis
The briefest history of Great Lakes surfing according to Grumpy Bob: The Wyldewood Surf Club was formed in 1965 out of Port Colbourne, Ontario and from its very beginnings was an international club with both Canadian and American members. Wyldewood Surf Club member Bob Sobering (AKA Grumpy Bob) began surfing in 1970, then picked it up again in the '90s. He’s a divisive figure in the Great Lakes surf scene. And in 2017 when Colin Field interviewed him for the Mountain Life Annual story "The Fifth Coast," he was as opinionated as ever. Those opinions have got him in a lot of hot water (pun intended) over the years, but even his main nemesis agrees this interview is worth listening to. “You should air it,” said a guy who repeatedly fought face-to-face with Grumpy Bob. “It’s history and it’s important.”Host: Colin Field
