Old guys are still surfing - I promise! Jim Walberg just discovered that Roy’s Cabana has re-launched their board shorts and surfing apparel after 25 years of retirement. Roy and Dody Colburn’s son, Jeff Colburn, now heads the re-launching of the company his parents started in 1952. It is now based in Cardiff in Southern California with surfing apparel in the Caribbean by going on-line. The world’s surfing community will love the clothing Roy’s is now ready to deliver.
Most of you know I grew up in Redondo Beach and surfed all through the 1950’s and 1960’s. Roy’s was my board shorts of choice all those years. Roy’s began in 1948 when Roy and Dody Colburn started a café at the beach end of Santa Monica Canyon at State Beach in Southern California. Besides all the meals that came out of Roy’s each day, they also sold beachwear, hats, lotions, etc. This little beach café became the hangout for the surfing crowd that was just beginning in California. When this crowd was not in the water, playing volleyball, or baking in the sun, they were hanging out to Roy’s Café.
