About: Bruce Cowan

Surfer/Writer/Pranaglider

Bruce started surfing on boards with one fin and without a leash in the Huntington Beach area. He enjoys all forms of board surfing but one bright summer day, out of the blue he rediscovered the joy of riding variably shaped air-filled watercraft. While not surfing his beloved surf mats he splits his time equally between perfecting time travel and growing mustard greens in his garden.
