Sunday Surf Poem: The Surf Rider
This week's Sunday Surf Poem comes from the mysterious Jack Crawford Jr.—a poet we seemingly know nothing about, despite the poem's 1967 publication. The Surf Rider is vivid, mythic, and a little wild, capturing the gossamer balance between joy and danger in a single ride. Since the poet remains a ghost, we'll let the work speak for itself.

This episode walks you through Ulu's origins, its legendary sections like Outside Corner and Racetrack, its discovery in the early '70s, and its place in surf culture today.
