cool Bud, thanks. i dont really think anything will come of it except maybe more sales at the froghouse! newport has a changing face... Russell surf shop has relocated across the street, after being in the same local for many many years. ok im waiting at the wave observation tower for the off shore winds to kick in........

Randy,Bud I was just in there a a
few hours ago dropping off one of Buds boards to have an f.c.s. cup replaced,and heard Mikey talking about what they are trying to do.The Froghouse has been there over 40 yrs. and they are shooting for historical landmark status. If that happens no more issues. Keep your fingers crossed.

WTF? I grew up with Froghouse and my dad has been friends with TK for many years.

Can't believe anyone in Newport would want to change something that has been a HUGE piece of it's history..

God Bless TK Brimmer and The Frog House ! I can't believe City of N.B. would even consider something so stupid. TK's the best ,as is his crew ; is the lady who does wetsuit repair ( Jan ?) still there ? I remember before I moved out here she made me several sets of extra thick flipper slippers so I could still use my California fins. Awesome place, one of the last true surf shops.
