The Inertia

“The reason why I surf is that it’s so much fun.” Curt Harper’s opening statement pretty much sums it up.

Harper is a 50-year-old competitive surfer. When he was two-years-old, he was diagnosed with autism. Then, when he was 10 or 11, he asked his father if he could learn to surf. “I instantly said yes,” said his dad. “It was the best decision I ever made, as far as Curt was concerned.”

Since then, Curt has become a staple in the Southern California surf community. He’s been surfing with the kids for generations. For groms, he’s someone that loves surfing as much as they do. He’s someone they can trust. And most of all, Curt Harper is a friend.
