Friend of the shop and all around good guy Oliver Kurtz has been spending some time over on the North Shore this winter, and apparently has been impressing some people with his well mannered house guest tendencies. Not only did Oliver get a little pop for said manners on Surfing Mag’s website, but Transworld was impressed enough that they did a little video interview with him regarding the same topic on their respective website. Check out the two links below for the coverage.

Here is a list of the airline fee increases for your quivers.
