Henry Ford

Henry is a legendary California surfer and a true mainstay of modern surf culture. He started riding waves along the sand bars of the South Bay — Hermosa, Redondo, Manhattan and Torrance beaches — way back in the early 1950s, when boards were still balsa and the lineups were nearly empty. He went on to star in many of Bruce Brown’s early surf films, including "Slippery When Wet," "Surfing Hollow Days" and "Barefoot Adventure," helping shape how the world saw California surf life.

Decades later, Henry brings that same depth of experience, global network and feel for surf-coast real estate to every ISP client — a Hall of Fame waterman opening doors most agents will never touch.

During the era of surf clubs he, along with his pal and another classic surf legend, Freddy Phauler, were part of the infamous "Double Duce Danglers" of 22nd Street in Hermosa Beach. He was also a regular at Malibu during the summers along with such notables as the surfing "king of pop" himself, Terry "Tubesteak" Tracey, Mickey "da Cat" Dora, Johnny Fain, Mike Doyle, Mickey "the Mongoose" Munoz and "Gidget" herself.
