Welcome to www.surferralph.com.This site is about a life long dream of documenting an entire hurricane surfing season on the East Coast. I,Ralph Williams,started surfing in Virginia Beach ,VA during the summer of 1964. I have been fortunate to have surfed a great deal of the major surfing spots worldwide. I am at heart a dedicated East Coast guy. This blog will document and follow my progress from Nova Scotia to Florida from August 15th until December 1st,2008.It will include comments,video and still pictures.MOST IMPORTANTLY,I will be doing FUNDRAISING for INJURED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The non-profit I will raise money for is the Shepherd Center Foundation(www.shepherd.org) an Atlanta GA based Catastrophic Care Hospital that specializes in paralysis, brain injuries and loss of limb; the three severe injuries being suffered by our brave and dedicated Marines,Soldiers,Air Force personnel,and Sailors. I will be driving a Viper red 1950 Plymouth resto-rodded woodie pulling a Silver Shadow Teardrop trailer by Little Guy.The car,that was built by Gene Rutherford,Bruce Fair and myself over the last 2.5 years,has a 350ZZ4 Corvette engine.a modern IFS front end,A/C,ETC,and should help attract attention to the cause.
I am tremendously excited to be fulfilling my dream,and combining it with such a humbling cause to help those who so unselfishly protect our freedoms.Please link on and give to the Shepherd Center Foundation and our brave,patriotic injured men and women.Thank You!  HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THE WATER!
