Tarp surfing is a relatively new phenomenon that has gained substantial popularity in recent years. This viral movement has taken over such sites and www.youtube.com, with epic footage of grassroots tarp surfing. Where did this new sport come from?
Tarps surfing got it's start in 2009 by the Brady family from San Juan Capistrano, California. Recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, Mr. Brady was covering his boat outside with a large blue tarp cover. As he was covering his boat he noticed how the wind blew through the cover and created a wave shape. The light material danced with the wind much in the same way a barrel is formed in the water.
This gave Mr. Brady an idea. That Christmas he bought a video camera for his sons and before long the first tarp surfing footage was uploaded to YouTube. It didn't take long for this footage to get reviewed as the hits and page views poured in. From that point on tarp surfing clubs and associations formed across the United States and the epic viral movement began. Blue Tarp Surfing is here to stay and is a lot of fun for those days when the waves are flat.
