At least once a day for 36 years, Tory Strange has provided a surf report for waterfolk in his hometown of St. Augustine, Fl. Waking most days to see the sunrise for the dawn patrol report, Tory has developed an especially intimate understanding of his local beach. Tory is also an entrepreneur and owner of one of the world's most community-centric surf shops, The Surf Station. He has shaped US East Coast surf culture by nurturing the careers of talented surfers, filmmakers and writers, and more broadly, by creating a place where many learn what it means to be part of a community of waterpeople. Tory's legacy reminds us of the power of sinking our roots in deep, and committing to our own community. .....Listen with Lauren L.
