Joey Buran found god. started churches, came back to the coast, coached the US Team, still does sometimes. Loves a good Dance video on IG. But has anyone seen him surf in the last 20 years? I think his nephew is shpaing or a part of Surfboardbroker with Duran Barr, another 2nd gen NCSD kid.
Lambresi has been selling cars in NCSD for years and still surfing. He cut chunks off his ankle trying to get a pic for IG and has been in heavy, skin grafting, rehab for it. Fun fact, my first board was a neon, sponge-painted Merrick with the fins busted out. My dad got some glassed in.
This feels more like a "where are they now" thread. Most of the people ya'll are calling "cancelled" just didn't get photos published anymore or didn't stay sponsored for no other reason than they fell out of marketing favor.
I've never heard the "don't come back to Hawaii, David" story, but I always wondered why I only saw him in CA. I assume he burned somebody on a deal.
Jeremy Sommerville died last week.
That sucks.
