Before the erBB, there was alt.surfing, the original online surf community. Unfortunately, Google Groups has this banner on our beloved group's page: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.surfing

Here are some of my memories:

"Alt.surfing *is not* an extension of SurferMag, the Southern California surf scene, or anything else. We are an independent thinking and functioning surfing community with no affiliations or ties to anything." --Gamivia Duke/Opc73 (taken from the original alt.surfing Hub Manifesto)
