Local surfboard shaper and former pro-surfer Greg Elliott, 49, and his son, Greg Elliott, 27, pop up on the same wave at Folly Beach, trying to take advantage of the swell Hurricane Bertha sent our way in July.
Taylor Doane and his kids, Greylan Ingle, 12, and Sawyer Doane, 3, come in from tackling Hurricane Bertha's waves at Folly in July.
