Larry Bertlemann is pretty much The Godfather of style in surfing and in skateboarding. The rubber band man became famous for his newer aggressive style rapidly turning his board with his hands while maintaining a super low stance. Made popular by the Z-boys like Tony Alva and Jay Adams, the influence behind the bert slide was none other than Larry Bertlemann himself.
Larry was kind enough to take a phone interview with me as our pioneer guest for the new podcast segment! I was slightly nervous, especially being my first interview, but Larry can’t help but make you feel at ease. Thanks again for being on the show Larry, aloha!!
