Following up with the informal survey of individuals who have been competing in SLSA competitions as team members, SurfWatch has resurrected and is updating the Team Profiles that were originally done in 2009.
Although it is rumored that Mick Lunasea can surf everything from the log of a freshly cut endangered Loulu tree to the back doors of his 1941 custom surfer Ford Woody Wagon, SurfWatch does not promote nor endorse any of the teams represented.
-------------------------------------

Where did the team name come from:
Surf-Crazy was a 50's surf film by Bruce Brown. Mick named his website combining the words http://surfcrazy.com . In sl Mick started Surfcrazy Surf Shop in 2007.
Why was this team started:
In 2007, Mick knew no one except Rob Jon riders until he met Sierra and Thor. Misfit's Shop was largest at Surf City. and carried SSI. Mick quizzed Thor and Sierra about Surf Contests. Surf City had no team, Thor passed away or Mick would have surely been a Misfit. 2008 Mick was a rookie, red, first heat at Monkey Paw riding a misfit board created by Sierra. It was an early sculpted shape. Mick had no team affiliation although the board sported a Surfcrazy Logo.
2009 Rob John (Robin Mapp) sponsored Team Surf City riding RJ surfboards. The SLSA permitted a one time longboard contest riding RJ Noserider, Connie, Brigit, Rockytheskaterboy and Mick were team riders. Rob created a line of SSI boards, The team was renamed Da Hui. Team riders were Sean, Aeryn, Monq Rob, Connie, Yendor and Mick. In 2010 Yendor was season champ, shortly thereafter Da hui became inactive.
Surfcrazy Surf bums / Team Surfcrazy was launched. Keeping with Rob John and RL tradition Surfcrazy sponsored Team Riders. Original Team Riders were Connie, Yendor, Rockytheskaterboy and Mick. Ceedi, Crystal, Jay, Revlon and Xander joined, Abel and Jordan also joined the team briefly.
