Romanosky is a well known and established name in the surfing

for his kneeboard line, every one of which he personally shapes.

surfing and sports related magazines in South America, Australia, Japan, Europe, as well as in the U.S.A.

Born in the Dominican Republic, Ron spent his early years in Virginia, North Carolina,
California, Tennessee, Maryland and Japan, thanks to the many duty station changes logged by his father, a U.S. Marine. He graduated from Costa Mesa High School in Costa
Mesa, California and spent three semesters at Orange Coast Junior College in the same city before being drafted into the U.S. Army in 1965.
While in Vietnam's Central Highlands as an infantryman Ron got interested in photography, somehow recognizing the golden
opportunity his predicament presented photograpically. Since that time into the present, the camera has been increasingly instrumental in shaping this individual and in determining his path in life.
Ron has resided in Newport Beach, California and has considered it home since 1962. He attended California State University at Long Beach where he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Recreation in 1975.
