As
Staff Artist at
Surfing magazine from
1974-1978, Tom Threinen
illustrated fiction pieces by
Drew Kampion, including the
original Don Redondo series,
and he produced most of the
editorial and advertising
cartoons and illustrations
that appeared in SURFING
during those years. Tom

Ana River jetties in 1963. For
three years during high school
he was a pioneering surfer in
Virginia Beach and out on the

In the early 1970s Tom was
back in California surfing
Sunset Cliffs and Baja,

surfboards in Ocean Beach (San
Diego) while attending San
Diego State University as a
fine art major. Tom is
currently collaborating with

long-running, Don Redondo
comic strip in The
Surfer's Path
magazine. Tom’s recent
fine art includes eleven large
drawings of ocean waves. Tom
