Folsom, Lilla O.

Lilla O'Brien Folsom and Foster Folsom were in that first wave of surfing-aware teenagers. Lilla is a local freelance writer who failed miserably at surfing and went to work at a local surf shop. Foster grew up on Folly Beach and began surfing in the early 1960s. They were directors for the Southern South Carolina chapter of the Eastern Surfing Association for five years. Their life is best described as "surf-dependent."
