Letters

August 26, 2003

I enjoyed your article about the junior-senior high school at La Jolla back in the fifties and sixties. I grew up in a farm town in South Dakota, and we went to a small school where all us kids, aged 6 to 18, were in the same room. I can remember some tall, lanky fifteen year old rednecked white boy trying to beat on my little brother and me, who were about nine and ten at the time. Finally had to call in my pa to beat him up, and then he called in his pa, and you guessed it, the whole damn town of 253 people almost had a civil war because relative went against relative. We used to ride planks behind the ski boat and pretend we were Frankie and Annette stuffing a wild bikini. Do any of those tow in surfers do it with water skis? Anyways, good luck with your rag, and I am sending twenty dollars to you and maybe you can send me something when you make it?

Who is the girl in that picture in your article about the making of that movie about the surfers? She is beautiful. When was the picture taken? If it is recent, I would like to meet her. If it is from the seventies, she looks like my mother and I already have met her. I'm not talking some kind of Oedipal shit thing that you f****ing intellectuals bounce around in your padded rooms. Also, my girl friend would like to be on your Bette' page, so I am sending a couple of photographs of her to your Post Office Box along with the signed submission releases. Publish them and maybe she'll get the recognition she deserves and Hollywood [aren't they up the street from you guys? will come knocking at her door. Cheers, mate

Just a quick note from downunder to thank you for the bitchin photos of the reefs in La Jolla.
Visited there in '97 and she still looks good! We got a little right-hander down here, just south of backbeach,
could give some of you lads a good run.

You california snakes don't hold a candle to the east coast. This past hurricane brought in some
energy you folks just dream of!!! I'll send some pictures in the future of my friend who got covered by a twenty-plus
left-hander that makes southern cal look like a Manhattan bath tub just as soon as I come back from my friend's
funeral.

I have a problem with this Rustic board which I purchase from my cousin who got it second hand from the
fellow who worked at Bitch's Surf Shop in your town. Firstly, the decal of the girl at black's beach is falling off, thirdly,
there is a deep ding along the rail, and second and lastly, on the larger sets here, I make such sick right turn,
that the G-force make my G-string fall off? What I do to correct that?

You damn kook! I remember you from back in the early seventies at WindanSea. You must have been
practicing for the Rough Water Drink because you swam so much. You didn't have no leash because you had no money
to buy one!! If you hadn't had McGowan protecting your ass because you bought the White Stallion [Ekstrom asymmetrical]
from him, you would have been run out of the water! And then you started ingratiating yourself with the lot lowlifes
by doing legal work for them at cut rates---no wonder youre still a bum. And those women that you claim picked your board
off the beach for you? Hell, I seen some of those dogs and if I were you I wouldn't touch that subject. Fool! Your friends,
not that you had any, never fell off so they didn't have no woman holding their board for them. That's all I got to say
now, and I ususally don't write to no stinkin rags, but you just got my goat with your lies and half-truths and whatever you
call that drivel. Now, that BA, hez my man. Is that his ass? I want his ass.

--Sonny Corleone from the Big House, Upstate New York

November 6, 2003

I'm from Minnesota where we ride waves on the Lakes, over 10k in Lakes up here, and I was doing
tow-in surfing on one ski and plywood fifteen years back so go off with your Superman/Waterman hype! Now,
I've been reading those rants from that Thing that calls itself BA, both on your website and his personal
Ego page and I get sick reading that disgusting shit. It irks all hell outta me to read his juvenile shit about 'how you shoulda
been there because it was soooo good back then' or 'you just missed it, because ten minutes ago the set of the day came
through' or 'I used to date the Duke's daughter so I am one with surfing Royalty' or that 'I hung with Butch in the 10th grade!'
I cry bullshit and dare you to print this letter.

Anyways, I flew out to this La Jolla beach, the Shores, that this Thing says he was weaned at and I tried to see where all
these Kooks are that this Thing rants about and I think I caught it on a typical day down there and so I took some
photographs in my search for BA.


looked north, no BA


looked south, no BA


looked at the break, no BA

So I called out in the wind, "BA!!!!???", and I saw this dog, but he was too busy and I didn't think it was BA
cuz this dog was actually gainfully employed.


can this be BA?

So I asked somebody where was this BA, what does he look like?
They said he rides a long board and that he is Old. And I seen this guy carrying his board
outtda water and I starts running after him, but


the runnin man

he was too quick for me and I had to stop cuz I got winded. Jeez, I thought, these Old Guys can
sure scamper quickly and the weird way they carry those damn boards, like I never seen that in the
movies or read that way in the magazines. Damn, and another one:


using one's head

These guys either have short arms or wide boards or no arm strength or somethin I never heard
about in the land of 10,000 lakes. Anyway, I never did see any boards crashing into one another
and I never found this BA. I think he just made himself up. I think he exists in cyberspace just like
all your shit on all you surfing websites. 'Cuz I was there man, and the lake upstate from me is much
bigger than that La Jolla Shores. Surf? La Jolla? In your dreams you California Happy Cows.
See, I knew you folks wouldn't have the gonads to print this! But that girl from Russia!! Is she the
cat's meow or what? Does she really live in Siberia? Is she from one of those Gulags? I would like
to spend the winter with her, can you set me up, BA? Everything I wrote, forget about it, just hook me
up, BA, OK?
My eighteenth birthday is coming up, so surprise me, please.

November 15, 2003 --- B.A. Responds!!

Hey Sean - in fact how do you pronounce SEAN?

Is it like SEEN?

What a joke - "Hey have you SEEN SEEN?"

Everybody will have a stuttering problem around you - maybe you could work for Howard Stern
- you could be the new "Stuttering John" replacement: "Stuttering Seen Seen"

I wanna make sure I got this right - you're 17 years old and you're spewing a bunch-o crapola about me,

and your inability to find the most famous surfer at La Jolla Shores - you gotta be pretty pathetic!

You must be attending public schools in Duluth, Minn. wherever that is -

You can't even stay on topic you kook - I can't even follow your note -

What are you pissed about - the fact that you're stuck in Minn - wherever that is - and the most fun

you have is doing something on a slab of plywood?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Did you bang the Queen of 10,000 Lakes or something - at least the Duke's daughter was a hottie!

You're irked because you're a teenager with no future, and for you, ten minutes ago may as well be a lifetime

- you'll NEVER see the set of the day - either in the ocean or on a Russian Hottie!

I don't know how you confused me with Dog Boy or Fattie with Board on Head, that just shows what a kook you are

- what a waste of $$.

One of my kids is going to school in Chicago, wherever that is - maybe it's close to Dah-Luth?

Maybe I'll visit my kid someday - whatever his name is - and you can meet me outside the school yard gates.

Love and kisses -

BA

I like your photograph of the lawyer outside the Santa Barbara courthouse. You people might recognize this
as being where our D.A. makes his home, as he prosecutes the gloved one for the alleged pedophile activities.
What a lying contest that trial is going to be with that mom! Probably cost the county couple of million dollars. Hope Rincon or the
Ranch have extended swells during those times so I can stay outta town with the media blitz.

December 18, 2003

I was climbing around my grandpa's attic over the holidays, as school is out for us
Longhorns and I was down at South Padre Island waiting for the winter swells to kick
up from the hurricanes. Anyways, I was going through his old sea chest and found
some porn mags from the 70's and ran across some surf reports from Surfer Mag
and there was a Bill Andrews reporting about San Diego and he was talking about
crowds and pre-season litter.


The Surf Report, Vol 1, #1 July 1980

Is that you guys? Is that always been a problem over there? In Texas, we shoot those litterbugs and ask questions later.

Just found your site about surfin whilst I was surfing on the World Wide Web.
I like it! Mixture of Old and New, with tongue in cheek ---I think----and some true
observations about the beach life style.

I plan a visit to the States this summer and will see your Beach in person.

Thank you for the photographs from Chuck Hasley's wake. I knew him in the late
60s. I remember going to a party that some high school girls' club had in Palm
Springs and seeing Chuck at the pool with the swimmers. He was teaching a pretty
young thing how to float on her back with her Mae Wests. A real lover of Life. I
will miss him.

I am in awe of this character B.A. That picture of him under the lip that
was the front-piece on your website was sick. I find it incredible
that this fellow is sixty years of age. And that russian girl he knows---is she a beauty
or what? I am 1/3 his age and I want his life. What is his secret?

Clark Galloway
Gearldton, Western Ozzzzz

The Editor replies:

B.A., like Vic Tanny and John Weismuller before him, is a "piece of work."
In his own words, "I was walking with the Duke and Butch in the middle sixties
near Velzyland. Dirt road, car comes up behind us and I jump to the side in
some high grass. Butch defies in the middle of the road, while the Duke waves
his greeting to the locals. They invite us to roast pig being cooked
under the dirt. Walking from the high grass, I understood by the odor that I
had stepped in some cow shit. There was no way that I could clean it all off
that far in the bush, so I continued to walk nonchalantly, head held high.

Butch snickers and says only the PinkBod could have done it with Style and
the Duke just shakes his head and mutters somethin' 'bout those La Jolla Boys
needin' their maids to keep them clean. We made it to the luau and the locals
just loved me, said they were goin to get shit-faced, but I was already shit-footed!
Next day out surfing, they gave me all the waves I wanted and from that day on I
was pretty close to them.
"From then on, I realized it's O.K. to step in the shit once in a while,
cuz then you know who your friends are by how close they walk with you.

I did not understand the editor's response to Mr. Galloway's letter of March 3, 2004
regarding B.A.

Len Dawkins
Vancouver, B.C.---not Baja California

The Editor replies:

Neither did I, but it was a pretty deft political deflection. Besides, Mr.
Galloway is from Western Australia, so his understanding of english is limited
and he can probably read between the lines and make more sense of it than me or
you or the Duke or Butch or BA.

Could you post more photographs on your site showing surfers in California
in various positions on the wave and point out what they are doing.
I am a beginner and would like some instruction.

Candy Kain

The Editor replies:

We plan to do that for the summer, Ms. Kain. And if you come southwest, B.A.
says he will give some personal instruction and put you up on the website.
e mail your photo pronto!

We just had some snow drop down on our place, but the sun is making it too
mushy to do much skiing the remainder of the season. So I was thinking of
moving over to California for the summer to try surfing. Where should I begin?
Is there someone there to help me learn?

Maria Dolechencko
Vail, Col
I attach a photo for your perusal.


me and mine--where are you and yourn?

The Editor replies:

B.A has contacted a Lot Boy who will personally instruct you and who also said
that he will provide room and board for you while you surf together.
Of course, he has to ask his mother's permission for you to stay at the house.

It's headin into mid winter down here, for all you sepos in California,
so I wanted to know when my t-shirt with the pumphouse fight is going to be
fed exed to me??? I mean, I need something to sleep in and hold my baby
tight so that I can tell her of those thrilling days of yesteryear when I use
to surf all those LaJolla Reefs with Ted and Chris and Brew and Ronnie and Big
Dale and Little John and Robin Hood.

My brother, he died in Abu Ghraib. Why do that to him? He did nothing
and welcomed you people to free us. After the liberation, he wanted to go
to California to learn how to surf. Now he is dead and I do not understand why?
Can you tell me?

Bim Shah
Obu, Iraq

The Editor replies:

Our brother, he died at the Psi Data Theta fraternity at the University of Lemmings
twenty-five years ago during initiation ceremonies. They gave him the hood,
the Nudity, the Pyramind, the humiliation. I guess the children
of his pledgemates grew up and joined the Reserves.

We have north swell that kick up in large storms here on the Black Sea,
maybe, three, six times a year it reaches three meters on the face.
Two american soldiers surf here 'bout ten years ago and left a board which
we still use and order used parts through the catalog from the Biarritz
shop in France. Maybe during Olympics in Athens some more people come with
their boards and we can have a meet? Most americans I meet not ugly americans.
Who win your presidency, Bush or the other man?

A. Tercan, Sinop, Turkey

The Editor replies:

Makes no difference who wins, americans' "speak softly and carry a big stick."
America has been in more fights than Butch in his senior year at the high
school and I always laugh when some piss-ant mouth like Saddam or Bin Laden
pounds his chest and says we are afraid to die. Apparently they never heard of
the War between the States when we killed hundreds of thousands of our own or
the nightly news with the drive-bys and wife-beatings and the . . . . .
Write when the next swell hits and we will try to be there. E-mail a photo!

What is up with that Learn to Surf video that I heard you guys
were shooting down at Black's Beach with that Exceptional Beauty?

The Editor replies:

The Lot Boy who was teaching the lady how to surf got a little too excited
and ended up being air-lifted off the beach to Scripps Clinic. He is still
recovering and we will reshoot with either him or some old geezer who
was raised on a farm in the San Juaquin Valley who doesn't get bothered by
those types of things.

If that party is being thrown by the Mac Meda Destruction Co. this
4th of July down at your Windansea Beach, I would like to reserve a table
for myself and my six nieces to sit at and partake of the festivities.
One of my nieces would also like to learn to surf that day.
Can this be arranged?

What is up with Saddam now saying that he was surfing in the Persian Gulf when
all that shit went down with the Kurds and Kuwait and Iran and he knew nothin
'bout it?

Khali Akabahr
Palestine

The Editor replies:

Surfers have been getting a bad rap ever since Tom Keahoe was in Los Angeles in
the early thirties working on the Tarzan movies and he mooned the Southern Pacific
when they were surfing San Clemente.

Back then surfers would just blow it off, tell people that if you don't believe the truth,
to go f**** yourself and stay out of the water. Nowadays when every Bozo is trying
to be politically correct by speaking out of both sides of their mouth and shitting
out of both ends of their ******'s, nobody can point the blame or flip the finger
without some numbskull claiming the surfers made me do it.

Well I say, and B.A. will back me on this one, cuz he had it first hand from Dogboy,
who was back east for the Otar World Contest in 1987, that 'yeah' Saddam is reputed
to have surfed as well as Kerry did at Windansea, but he quit because
he had difficulty going backside because his Ass got in his way and he had
difficulty riding through all the bodies floating in the surf.

Going through all those bodies sounds like a typical summer day at Twang.

So as far as his knowing about what he did, DogBoy says Saddam is full of shit.

July 26, 2004

I didn't see your sorry ass at the 4th of July party and Hugh wasn't there,
but that girl in the red bikini, or should I say, the NOT red bikini, was there.
So where is your 4th editorial?

Tiff
Malibu

The Editor replies:

Hef claimed that he was stopped by the local constabulary at Black's Beach
when they were doing some early morning skinny dipping. Claims the cops told him
he would be arrested if he didn't put on more clothes and the girls would be
arrested if they didn't take off more clothes? Go figure. Probably those Tijuana cops.

We have just gotten back from southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where DogBoy
turned us on to one of his friends place. Photos will follow as will a story DogBoy told us of yesterday. Quite a story!

What the heck is going on over there? Are you guys down in Mexico or
are you from Mexico. I mean nothin ever gets out on time over there so
where is that t-shirt I ordered a week ago?

Kimo Chopo
Houston, Texas

The Editor replies:

Our test-girl is wearing it right now so it will stretch out in the right
places and you can feel what it's like to wear something she wore, with her scent.
We didn't think you would mind, but really, your check bounced so send another promptly.

Dear Editor, I was passing through Spokane. WA and witnessed a huge kegger party going
on one night in the parking lot of a race track. They told me it was some sorta
“Mac Meda” group from the Wind an Sea Beach, La Jolla.

Dear Editor, It is Labor Day here in the States, my wife is in the hospital getting
ready to put out our second born, so she is also in Labor, and I was wondering
which one of the contenders would y'all prefer to surf with if it had to be
on a beach in some damn foreign country?

Rey Chavez
Corpus Christi
Great State of Tex kick ass

The Editor replies:

Historically, from his time at Twang in 68, Kerry is a better surfer, but
still a kook. However, if there is any trouble at the break from the locals,
he would run straight at 'em and kick their ass all over the place. This is good!
Now, Bush, since he quit drinking and driving while drinking, is in the best
shape of his life, but his balance is still a bit shakey. So if he could balance
the budget, then maybe he could balance himself on a board. So if he went with
us now to surf Moroc or Spain or the Suez Canal, he might be the best one
to take cuz he has the Secret Service watching his ass, and ours if we surf
with him. 'Course if we surf in Brazil, those Secret Service guys may be watching
some girlz ass when they should be watching ours, and then watch out!

But after November elections, if Bush loses, then I would rather surf with Kerry
'cuz he'll have the SS guys and PLUS -- he is a billionaire and we could rent
the best boats in Indonesia--provided all them muslims don't know we are ripping
their local breaks.

We already voted by absentee ballot. Kerry and Edwards to fight the terrorists

Quit outsourcing the jobs and quit sending all our money overseas!
Even voted Skip Frye for mayor of San Diego! What, you mean it is his wife
that is running for Office. It looked like him to me, or maybe me to him.
Vote her mayor of the Casa Seals and she can live with her constituents who she
loves so much. Even Dogboy, child of P.B., graduate of Mission Bay High School,
refused to vote for her because she allegedly stole some of his shit back in the 80s.

I was saddend and sorry to hear about the recent demise of "Killer." We will all miss him and we still
think fondly of his pranks that still bring a smile to our lips and a warmness to our belly as we laugh
with him. I still remember him mooning the Santa Fe train at Trestles back in the '60s and then the Marines
chased him down the beach all the way to Churches where he ran into a surfing buddy who was also a colonel in the
Marines Reserves up there for summer camp who stopped the whole thing!!

Or the time him and Dora jumped off the Bu Pier while they were filming one of those Frankie and Annette pics with
Don Rickles and the girls with the bongas! I think they cut that out of the pic, but the cast party----can I
tell that story at a later date!!?? I know he was on the Windansea Surf Club bus trip to Malibu that is still talked
about at campfires from Twang up to Santa Cruz.
God Bless him and all his illegitmate children that are in and out of the Big House

We will miss him. He was a piece of work and it will be a long time before we see his like again.
That's because his oldest boy, a spitting image of the father, is scheduled for parole review in eight

We heard through the grape-vine, actually we were drinking from the grape and talk wandered in the direction
of La Jolla in general and Windansea in particular, that you actually have the "Southern California Son"
movie on your computer and may have it completed before the start of the next decade. Is this true? How can
we get a copy of this? When we were in boot camp down at MCRD, we use to visit there and try to hook up with some
of the local ladies. Cpl. Dillon scored with a tourist girl from San Antonio, but me and the spanish lady, well, that
is a story for another time and another place.

I was looking at the script or manuscript or whatever you call that writing on learning how to surf. I want also
to buy that video. When will it be ready?

Things are going better over here. The Locals got their vote, pretty soon they will learn how to use their guns, and
maybe Pres Bush can then give them the 'balls' to fight for their own country, cuz Im not going to live here forever.

Maybe you read the front page of the New York Times about our company that
lost a lot of good men because fuckin Bush and his slinky Dick sidekick and
Rumsfeld ass don't give a damn and get our team the armor they need.

So some of us died, some lost some legs, some lost arms, and Bush can lose that
Dick of his for all I care. I'm out of the Corps now because they didn't support
us when we were fighting for them.

I read your site over there and at the Motor Pool and now Im back over here, and yeah,

and I love the comments by the person known as Bad Ass. I like the
editorial about mother's day. My mother was like that. Rest her soul.

I am not into politics because I do not know who to believe, so I do not pay
much attention to those letters that your readers submit.

I am writing to verify that you are going to have some video files
showing more pictures of the surfers and the beautiful town you live in?

Beverly Jackson
Odessa, Texas

The Editor replies:

Yes. There will be some video files going up shortly. Also, we plan to put in a
map of La Jolla or some air photographs of La Jolla and mark the location of places
discussed and pictured on this website, so that visitors will have an idea of where they
are travelling to when they are in the town. Make sure they are aware of any dangerous places
to steer clear of.

Can you run another picture of those famous seals in La Jolla?

Johan Von Klaus
Kitzbuhel, Austria

The Editor replies:

Here are two photographs: the first is where the seals have always lived, even before
human intervention; the second is the beach dedicated to the children of San Diego and the
world, with it's man-made sea wall. Now the seals are living, breeding, birthing and dying there.
polluting the water and making it uninhabitable for human use.

Cowabunga!!! You are the Sick with those video movies of the surfers!!!
Greatest thing since sliced toast!! I want to see that BA on video and
ranting up a storm!!!

Tyler B.

The Editor replies:

Yes. B.A. is trying to find a make-up woman from Hollyweird that can help him out,
or should I say, tummy-tuck him in, or lipo-SUCK him in his preparation for the camera.

What is up with you guys. Did you go down to Oz or what? I mean there has been a dearth
of information, new, on the site, and my video of the girl learning how to surf when the
waves rip off her top hasn't shown up at my doorstep as of yet?
Lance, the No Pants
Paris, Texas

The Editor replies:

We made a serious mistake and didn't tell somebody that we were Not His Lawyer, and
now we are locked in a court battle with some Old Man and his Sucka where they are doing
the walk of the Mendacious MoFo. It will be over soon, the client will go through the backdoor
in chains whilst I waltz out the front door, heading for the Western Shores.

What happened with that legal thing you talked about? I got my own legal bullshit.
Derek
Gitmo, Cuba

The Editor replies:

It was an abomination!

Some people have no idea of truth or falsity or in-between, yet they are pillars in the community?!

Enough said.

Too much bullshit on the land, got to get people like this in the water where the Loco Local can take over

Is there any surf in this town or what?
Cisco
La Jolla, California

The Editor replies:

There is a big red tide and no surf for the past several weeks.

I know some surfers who have moved down to South America to be with the winter
storms because they got so hungry for surf that does not come around.

I even heard of a surfer that tried to kill himself by swimming with the seals
at the Casa Pool, hoping to get taken by a shark, because he was so depressed with the
No Surf!

Let us pray for surf.

The red tide is from the blood of our Warriors dying in the Middle East

Christian Dorr
The Red Zone, Iraq

The Editor replies:

I agree, and commiserate with you and say FUCK the military for not giving you all the
equipment and manpower and intelligent leadership to fight the War.

Dear Fellow-travelers,

The girl showed up---late---she was a mexican and that was the reason
or excuse that she gave for the tardiness. She looked good, but it was dark,
so I couldn't really tell. Things were over so quick that I'm not quite sure
what we did or how we did it? She told me it was good, but how would I know?

I am french, so I know about Love, or at least, I can talk about Love when I sip
my wine and talk trash about you americans and your common crass behavior.

I did want to ask you for a favor, that maybe you could tell us how to handle the problem
with some of these militant Muslims we have living in our country from those countries
we colonized and later liberalized. I mean, you guys have your riots for several days and
then everything cools down for a decade or so until the next riot over race or beatings or gays
or some War or days of No Surf. We got these suicide bombers growing up around Us. What to do?
Thanks for all the help and I will give you a wave next time you come down near San Sebastian.

Tow-in-Tome Bayonne, France

Ah, the french. Give your Adversary some of your wine and a bit of Reefer and then one of these:

Californians!

HAS THIS BEEN THE WORST SUMMER FOR SURF OR WHAT???

Big Bill
La Jolla, Ca

The Editor Replys

Actually, no. If you look at the last scene in the DVD "Southern California Son," you will see that
Brew and Bruce are going out to the waves on the south side of the shack, and when the camera angle cuts
to behind Brew running into the water where he jumps on his board and sweeps a turn in the flat shorebreak,
the discerning eye will see there is no surf, even though the next cut is to a seven foot face with Brew carving.
Oh, I'm sorry, you don't watch the DVD which I see every other day on my Mac with Final Cut Pro, as I am finishing
the editing and locating the music.

Such is life next to the mexican border. Manana for the DVD!

Are you still supporting that WAR???

Y-Belly
Portland, Oregon

The Editor Replys

We support the americans who are fighting evil all across the World, including your town.
Rather fight them abroad than in my back yard, and once we are in the fight, you have to finish it
to the last drop of their blood. Unfortunately, we have to give blood to do the job.

What pisses me off is that we don't give our troops the equipment and the number of troops necessary
to do the job correctly.

If only Colin Powell had been the President, we might not be in the War, but if he had led us into it,
he would have done it Right.

What are you all doin for Christmas?

Big Wave Dave
Pt. Conception, CA

The Editor Replys

Thank you for the acknowledgment that it is Christmas! Not some no name holiday, but Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Christ. DUH!! Christ was born so that all you freaking sinners and wave hogs and wave snakes could get into heaven if you repented your sins and asked HIM for it!!

We still sing Christmas carols this time of the year, so I guess we are politically incorrect. Always felt good to be politically incorrect as those politicians try to please all the people all the time so they end up pleasing none of the people all the time, but they really don't care too much as they spend the people's money all the way to the Club, riding in the limo with their mistresses whilst the wives drink themselves to death in the big home on the Beach. True stories, learned from my time as a lawyer for the people who had their no-bid government contracts.

So for Christmas, we are relaxing in the sun with the swells and friends.

December 31, 2005

Was that a swell we had or what??

SSgt. Striker Wave Dave
Green Zone, Iraq

The Editor Replys

Check out the picture we took of the boogey boarder getting tubed at Horseshoe. He made the wave!!! Click here to check it out

Great swell, half the size of the 20+++. but still big waves but choppy, windy and now rainy. Best to all of you for the new year

January 13, 2006

And a happy New Year to all youz people in the States.
Me? I'm on my third tour in Iraq and still waiting for the body armor to protect
my sweet Ass from the grunge. Maybe Dicky can scramble up some money from
his corporate pay check to buy it for me.

Or your war hero, Duke Cunningham can send some of his fat cat money our way to protect
us. Where do these idiots come from? Who are they looking after? Why do all these people
get fat in their middle age while guys like me and the gunny are runnin 'round protectin them?

Oh, I long for the days of a right point break with my sweet lady laid out on the beach waiting
for me to come to her!!

my baby

laid on the beach

I shall return, so watch out baby, clear the water of the kooks, take the fat cats off the beach,
for T-Bone will soon be comin home!!!

What is Up with the civil war talk in Iraq?

----Robert E[cstacy] Lee, Roanoke, Virgina

The Editor Replys

Bunch of idiots, killin in the name of religion. It will happen if we stay there. Once we leave,
they will know it is all therez, to live or die in the MidEast. It's their home, let them decide what they want for rules and laws and leaders. Just make sure Bush and Cheney don't try to fuck it Up and risk our boys in the 'hood of the Iraquis. Their country, their Need to clean it Up.

March 21, 2006

Did you see the story on 60 minutes about Global Warming, how it will become irreversible
in ten years, and Bush is trying to keep it low profile? Comment, please.

----the Greasy Tubester, New York City Surf Club, New York

The Editor Replys

I did not vote for that Idiot and his sidekick, but this means that in two decades that mountain
two miles inland will be the site of a fantastic point break, with some deep water reefs. Map it out
now, so you can buy some prime beach front property before everyone else! Also, Katrina will be a memory
of a picnic for those Gulf Coast locals, as that will be a weekly occurence. San Diego rain? Maybe torrents
and buckets for about 40" a year. No need to move to Hawaii, we are moving it here.

May 13, 2006

I understand that the documentary on surfing in California, Southern California Son, is almost finished?
Is this the real deal?

----Joe Quiggs, Killer Dana, California

The Editor Replys

Check out the Menu, where there are movie clips from Southern California Son.
I think they give a hint at what the movie is about. Fill in the gaps with your imagination.
This short clip is the Mac Meda Convention in the 1970s.

Where did your website go the past week? I was searching for it, but couldn't find it.

Our domain name provider had some issues and then got bogged down in their own ignorance.
But we are back!!

Is that Mac Meda Convention happening the 4th of July @ Windansea? If it is, DOG, I want to be there!!

I hear from the Powers that Be, that it is. Rumor has it that John Kerry might drive up in his Swift Boat, jump out, surfboard in hand
and catch a few waves to bring back his memories of the best years of his life. The daughter of one of his girl friends, will be there. Her name is "Kerry."

whose my daddy?

June 29, 2006

I was surfing my fav break and some guy comes out and snakes a fella I dont know to well, but who is a good surfer
out here. Well, the snakor gets shanked by my fella friend, and the friend tells the snakor, who is now on the sand with
a skeg up his A**, "to learn the Rules!" I asked my acquaintance, 'what are the Rules', and he sent me here.

What be these Rules and how can I find out about them?

and lovely mama who tucks me in at night?
Private Dumb Fucked.

---- Shit Hole, Iraq

sweet home

this one is for you

The Editor Replys

Bush went into Iraq to avenge the assination attempt on his Old Man last century and got confused with trying
to give a democracy to people with no brains and no food in their belly. Gave them some of our best people and
brought others back with missing limbs so they can now hobble into the water. And the idiots in Washington DC who
dreamed up this War can now work at the think-tanks and discuss why it didn't work out with their corporate
buddies whilst the people that fought it, try to get on with their lives. All those politicians are fucked up,
except for maybe Joe Lieberman, but he won't last because his face belies his youth. So come on Home, we welcome you
and are proud of your sacrifice. [spelling] You get two weeks free in the line up, and after that, you
have to earn your spot.

God Bless you and the innocent children, and don't die on me now.

Our mother's breast fed us, which is the most natural and normal thing in the World,

The Editor Replys

The Surf is like a woman: sometimes she is good and sometimes she is bad, and sometimes she is badder
and sometimes she is baddest. There is more to life than surf so us renaissance men do those other
things--hopefully with the baddest.

Do I have a story to tell??? No. I don't want to talk about BA having a stroke in the
line-up out a the Shoe when it was soooo large that the guards had to send out a helicopter
to pull him in, so I will not mention it. I will not speak about my own run in with the
powers-that-be, and how my passcode got changed without my knowledge, leaving me locked
out from the shenanigans that take place here every day. I won't even go where . . . [got to go,
they are coming].
