His dream was to open a surfing museum stocked with the dozens of classic boards he has collected from all over the world. Nigel and Kwame discuss with Fernando the changes over the years in Rockaway, The forgotten art of jumping off the jetties into the lineup, his collection of boards, the surf museum and so much more. to know Fernando is to know a bit of Rockaway surf history.
