It was the 60's

In 1962 Ralph "Boots" Miller Graduated Arroyo Grande High School and began Pismo Beach Surf Shop with Tom Wynn. The Photo on the right was taken from the Arroyo Grande Yearbook.

The 60's were a fun time in the Pismo Beach Early Surfing Days and what was happening in the California surfing world was also happening in Pismo Beach. (The Arroyo Grande CLASS OF 1967) brought a change to Pismo. Again remember this was the 60"S

In 1967 Pismo Beach Surf Shop was sold to Kent Smith. Kent Smith later went on to Hawaii and Built Surfboards for Jerry Lopez (Lightning Bolts) and then Kent Smith Surfboards.

In 2009 Bill Bookout became the New owner of Pismo Beach Surf Shop bringing back it's Historic Logo designed by Ralph "Boots" Miller. Ralph has been instrumental in seeing it's legacy revived.
