Billy was first inspired to learn the art of the pitch after enjoying a Ginsu-knife demonstration on an Atlantic City, N.J., boardwalk. He realized that an eye-to-eye pitch has to be honest and salable to the core. It was this skill--along with verbal agility, stamina and likability--that he used to get consumers to buy products they never knew they needed. He carried the torch for vintage pitchmen, and I had hoped that he would continue to do so for a new generation. But his pitch was cut short far too soon...
...Santa Cruzans like Young, the small, 900-sq.-ft., free-admission museum - which is housed in an old lighthouse overlooking the world-famous Steamer Lane surf break, just up the coast from the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk - is much more than a repository for old photographs, torn wet suits and beaten-up longboards. It's a reminder that Santa Cruz was the first place surfing occurred in the continental United States, when, in 1885, three Hawaiian princes who were attending a nearby military school rode waves on redwood boards. In the ensuing years, Santa Cruz became headquarters for surfboard shapers...
...Coney Island years ago, walking on the boardwalk, and I saw these old guys out there, and they were in bathing suits and lifting rocks. And then they went into the water, and I thought, That's really insane - I wanna do that!

So about five years ago we reorganized the club and made it more accessible to people instead...

It's a very intimate dining experience in an old colonial Queenslander house. Next, go to the South Bank for a stroll along the boardwalk, where you have a great view of the city. Stop and have a drink at the Greystone Bar, tel: (61-7) 3846 6990. If I was going to kick on, I'd put on my flat shoes and head for Uber in West...
...impression said boy has made on her heart. There are no roses or initials etched on Sparks’ shoulder, or at least none that we can see. Instead, squeaky clean and revealing very little skin, Jordin twirls about on a carousel. Images of Sparks on a boardwalk are juxtaposed with “serious” black and white shots of the singer emoting; clearly, she’s a young woman on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Are we alternating between memories of happiness and the inevitable heartbreak that followed? Yeah, that’s probably what...
