Bruce "Snake" Gabrielson's Surfing Page
Welcome
Yep it's me, Bruce Gabrielson, the 1960s Huntington Beach Snake, still alive and now in my 60s, but charging the surf as best I can after almost 48 years on a board. If you're an old friend, please email me. Otherwise, say hi if you see me in the lineup in Maryland, Delaware or in other parts of the world. Unless I'm on the road, I[m usually in the Wave Trek Surfboards shop in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland every Sunday afternoon.
We offer the only NSSIA accredited surf school with actual certified surfing instructors (not just certified CPR) in Maryland.
We are now gearing up for surf lessons this spring.
Check the lessons link below..NO SURF LESSONS UNTIL SPRING
In addition to being a certified surf instructor, I have coached many professional level surfers over the years including Mike Downey, Jeff Smith, Bobby Burchell, Bobby Nishi, and most recently coach and help manage Aaron Powell, a professional longboard surfer. I only coach in the Mid-Atlantic region. If you are interested and think you might be able to step to the next level, let me know.
Below are links to my various interesting resources. For pictures taken of me and by me over the years click the pictures link.
