Back in the '80's I lived in San Diego. I had a 5'-10" Rusty swallow tail..but mostly bodyboarded, Morey Mach 7-7. Loved Black's Beach on a south swell, body womping at Law St or Wind and Sea, South Mission for the boardwalk.

Brian don't forget Horseshoe off the La Jolla cliffs, and damn Bill I didn't know you surfed Onofre and Trestles...

My favorite body boarding spots were Sandy Beach, Sunset beach, Waimea on a casual day, and long boarding anywhere along Waikiki and Diamond Head. All on Oahu of course : D I was much more ballzy on a body board then I was on my longboard. Biggest surf I ever went out in was 10-12 foot, and man corner carving is the only rush that comes close to dropping down the face and carving it up

Mikel, this old broken down body has done a lot of things. Have body surfed the "Wedge" in Newport Beach back in the 60's and 70's. Now I am showing how old I really am.

Learned to surf on a custom balsa board in the early 60's. Couldn't quite handle the beast though and gave up the sport. 40 years later I've acquired 1 fiberglass oldie and recently Jen & I have won a 9' 6" Dan Taylor longboard & a 6" 6' Bermudez shredder from Wednesday Surf Night raffles at Baja Cantina (in Marina Del Rey) and been thinking about going out again.

Been much more into the rising instrumental surf music scene in SoCal though. Witness Phil Dirt's Surf's Up netcast Saturdays from 7 to 9 pm and Clint Beachwood's "A Day at the Beach" live netcast from KCR San Diego State U. on Thursdays from 4 - 6 pm. And with free live concerts at the Huntington Beach surf museum on Sundays plus aforementioned Baja Cantina Surf Nights there's plenty of stuff to do. Okay, that said, here's your thread back. Thanks,
Sparky

BC, Yes. Saw them at the museum a couple years ago too. The drummer cracked me up when on one song he started tapping a bicycle helmet he was wearing. They play the Londoner in Santa Clarita a lot.

Sandblast, sounds like a plan in the works.

My daughter at the age of 5, my longboard waiting for a night off from work...Waikiki midnight surfing was just incredible. We were bird sitting for a friend at the time, so no Kanani wasn't ours. Kananai was also the bird that put me off on birds. She loved the hell out of me, but I just couldn't deal with her noise. Very Very loud bird.

There was a nice shop out there that sold Robert (endless summer) august boards..."Real Surfers", owned by someone associated with "Dan's Papers"...they went outta bidniz quite a few years back, though.
One of the best kept secrets in surfing is Samoa, incidentally, the reef off of Palolo deep outside of Apia, Western Samoa is one of the best rigth tubes I've ver riddien, and you will NOT find many other palangi (white folkses) anywhere around it.
...er, at least I didn't in '83....
Fiji still rocks, as does New caledonmia and Tonga, where the King his'se'f still surfs... I sepnt a day in the water there and saw hiz majesty riding.
South Pacific has amazing and relatively unknown sites
....even France has some nice break

Tramp, Robert August had a neat shop just off Main St. in Huntington Beach, I think is was on 2nd or 3rd, don't remember. He also was/is selling boards from a store called "In Flight" in Seal Beach. It has been a couple of years since I have be to the OC the scene changes very quickly in that area.

I have some great pictures of the break in Bora Bora Tahiti somewhere around here. A reef break just outside the entrance to the channel. ONE GREAT LEFT!

yep- i believe his shop was efatured in the mid-90s classic: 'endless summer II'....
i was alluding, in my (unedited) post above to a shop in montauk (in reference to a post just above it, re: "ditch Plains"; ) which carried August boards....I think they carried august and channel island. great shop, as i'd said.
I surfed southern cal. quite a bit in the 80s, haven't even been south of 'the ranch' in 20 years!

I live by the ocean but I can't even swim let alone surf. 75% of my friends are surfers. One guy I know got bumped off his board by "Stumpy", a rather large female great white who's missing a part of her dorsal finn. The crazy nut went back in to surf that very same day!

i tried surfing once in 71 and had no success at all.

then my daughter kept bugging me to teach her to surf. we have been at it for two years now and we both love it! if there is surf and time, we go.

rachel is 13 and has a 6'0 hurricane, 6'4 ketchel, 7'6 fry mini longboard and a 9'0 yancy.

i ride a 10'0 bic, 10'0 infinity polyester stylemaster 10'4 bruce jones polyester and a 9'10 yater epoxy woody.

first thing i ever liked that did not require horsepower (except golf and sex).

I originally did not bother to look at this thread because I thought it was in reference to all the computer geeks who stole our verb. But it is nice to see all the stoked riders here that ride waves too.

Yeah I surf. I am a full time waterman. If it wasn't for the ocean I don't know what I would do.
