Gunkie, do you surf the beach breaks there? I have a buddy who grew up surfing the jettys of Long Beach Island and raves about the waves and the daughters of the tourists from Philly.

Not the North Jetty, but keep on truckin'
Good eye. I love the old photos of junk and stuff in Baja.
One of my friend's girlfriend's parents had a house on the hill overlooking San Miguel.
We had some good times and saw some pretty wild stuff down there.

Yes and LBI kicks ass. So do a lot of other spots depending on swell direction, winds, tides... The best tube rides I ever had were in NJ and they were good, deep and sometimes scary.
Ask your friend about 'shoobies'

Speaking of San Miguel this came a bit after our hay[?]days. It's good history though.
Interesting that it is posted by DrAbalone. I had my first taste of abalone at the little restaurant across from Hussong's and first ever quesadilla at the place at San Miguel.

This purports to be a shot of SM from the era (1966)
Even earlier. SM Mission (at La Misión)
I recall MC races at both Rosarito and La Misión
hells angels hanging around
Folks nearly dying to get to Ensenada (drove their car off a cliff) for Cinco
Was Roy really in Ensenada that year? Nobody is saying.
Folks still retire to Baja

Sport routes have gone up on the bluffs there at La Mission. There's even better looking cliffs in a small valley behind La Fonda (k58).

Yep, Monday was the day and I'd guess Newport was double overhead.
This beach is way south and was 3 to 4 overhead. This beach stays offshore all day on NW wind patterns like the points in Baja.

I don't know how Roy was on the MC and he wasn't a great surfer, but he sure could sing.

If I can get a word in Wedge_wise, this is more like the old old dayz, but not quite as big. Catch the (North) Jetty in the background/seascape.

I'd want a kite to scoot out ahead of what's about to come down. Love this thread. :-)

Coronado again!- not very often...
So true about goofy gooters (I'm regular) He's over six feet tall and has the 5 tool goofy foot repertoire.
Speaking of regular footers...I love Rincon- good on you!

I recall folks starting the paddle from North Beach to Ralph's, but I never heard of anyone making it.
Continuing the Coronado theme
DC and I grew up a couple of blocks from one another. I considered him a pretty good friend. So good in fact that he took me home and propped me against the door, rang the bell and ran after I got pretty drunk (we didn't try any rapes) and puked all over in his car.
We had some fun Baja trips.
Technically, closer to the Lighthouse than Coronado

Z- this is getting weird- I was friends with DC's son Scott in the mid 70's. We'd all jump in my Dad's Volkswagen van and go downtown to skateboard paradise or the concourse or what have you. My Dad and DC...shit everyone would smoke doobs and fly down that thing. Of course Max was always there.
Later on I remember DC's smoothies from his Mulberry tree.
