Dad was taught the drip castle technique by his mother on the coast of Maine. Rather than send her son into the freezing cold Atlantic waters, Grammy gave him the gift that keeps on giving. Since those early years of understudy, Dad has moved on to his own years of glory. He has perfected his technique, established standards and norms in a fledgling industry, and brought smiles to thousands of sunburnt faces. He has taken time from his mastery to impart his knowledge on to the next generation to ensure the mantle is upheld and carried on to beaches across the globe.
