Fignetti began doing daily surf reports at 7:20AM on KROQ after taking Poor Man out for surf lessons in the '80s. He was also the voice of competitions like the US Open of Surfing & the National Scholastic Surfing Association National Championship.
Last year amidst the pandemic Huntington Beach hosted a festival in front of his shop to show appreciation to its longevity and to help out shop owners who had been struggling.
