DC lived on Second Ave at the corner of King St. So too did Lalo (Lyle John Hitchcock) live on Second Ave.

I do not know what street another local Carlos Santana lived on, but here's a little contribution from the two of them. Gerry Lopez? Don't those Hispanicals hang together.

A clip from Lyle's 1972 classic Island Magic

Doncha love to see someome riding waves without a tuxedo

One thing that makes them complimentary is that as I recall it surfin' was mainly just having fun and cute girls.

Maybe some nose riding.

Saturday October 27 event. Free tickets at Ventura County library. Barbarķan Days is a beautifully addictive memoir of a surfing life. I may have a spare ticket.

Had great surf this past Sunday in NJ (not me below). I was embedded in a lip of a wave like this, however, and got beat about the head and face my my board. You know it's bad when you're going over the falls and you are kicking your board with your knees.

It's an instagram video; couldn't post directly. Water was a balmy 58 that day and it's only getting colder and better.

Quite interesting. When will the first surf trip involve only man-made waves?

Give 'em a piece of the north shore, in early winter. Not ready?

Hope it does some good for the Hawaii too. Women seem to spend on their kids, making their home. #fromher

NJ has been firing over the last few weeks. This was last Friday. I had to work; my son had a snow day and scored. He said he got the biggest, scariest tube of his life. Was in San Diego last weekend and wished I was in NJ.

My son is not a professional surfer, is 16 yo and small for his age. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt regarding the biggest, scariest tube of his life.

really, this thread has been positive. here's my rant about the sport anyway.

These days, people seem to be wearing the skulls, flames, and some scary tattoos. Walking around with hats pulled low over their eyes. Outsiders wearing the same uniform? Maybe someone should try an aloha shirt. They don't really seem to be in style.


just because I like it, and it feels good... get the sun on your skin. stay warm, keep warm.

I'm done. Surfing wins.

I used to kind of be on the fence about gopros in general too.

France a few days ago. I'd be happy for a jetski assist in those conditions.
