The Reale Deal Show #109- Tom Skinner: 72-year-old charger!
At 72, Tom has been the "elder statesman" on our Tavi Tube Tour trip, and while that doesn't qualify him as the "oldest" bodyboarder we've had the pleasure of riding with, he is eerily calm and capable in surf that would scare most riders half his age, and all of this from a guy who has taken up the sport seriously only in recent years. Jay gets to know Tom and what makes him tick.
