All things
water-related make Jeff Silver happy. He's lived here
for 46 years, and is still
surfing at least twice a week. Add to that...he's a
Corinthian member of the Huntington Harbour
Yacht Club, and a past grand marshal for the Huntington
Harbour boat parade. Even his
business is all about the water - Austin Foam Cores
(they make surfboard blanks). "I love
this city," said Jeff.
Equally as enthusiastic
about life here in Surf City is wife Robin. "I've been
here for
15 years," said Robin. "Jeff brought me here and said
this is where we need to raise our
children and he was right."
Both Robin and Jeff
help out with kids Kelsey and Hannah in Girl Scouts,
Indian
Princess, Harbour View School, and Marine View Middle
School. "We love it here too,"
both children say in unison.
Kelsey was proud to be
the winner of the first-ever Surf City Nights Idol
contest last year in her
age group of 11-17. "There are so many opportunities for
fun and relaxation here," said Jeff.
"Our children are so happy here."
What is the best kept
secret in Huntington Beach' The family agrees that it is
the waterways
of Huntington Harbour. "Many people who visit Huntington
Beach don't even realize that the
Harbour exists," said Robin.
"I hope our children
come back here to raise their own children," smiled
Robin. It gets
in your blood."
