A little bit of history from Doug Moranville - - Branding Iron



==============

The photo below marks the first time my wave height reports became more hyperbole than factual -
My reporting - obviously - has gone down hill from here
[even calling the wave height as "this 35 footer" makes me sound like some morning television info babe -
this was the first and last time I used "footer" as an adjective or noun for describing wave heights!]

Most Importantly - after almost 60 years, I am finally able to confront my hideous nickname without wanting to go off the cliff at Black's [naked and on fire]

Finally, I have a bit more time on my hands and found this photo - I forget who took the photo, below of Maynard's.

The photo has been passed around for years, so as soon as I discover who the Photo Eddy is, I will note photo credit.

The photo sure brings back a flood of memories
Some good memories, some not so good memories, and more than just a few memories are downright nightmarish

Tim

When I was a La Jolla Shores Gremmie in the 1950's, I was part of a group of beginners, all living within walking distance of The Shores.

The "Rules" of surfing were very clear then, as they should be now: basically, look both ways before you take off, don't drop in on someone already riding the wave, hang on to your board - pretty simple -

Less simple was developing one's surfing style.

Speaking for myself, my style developed primarily by watching the WindanSea Guys - especially my good friend Joe Trotter - when they visited [rarely, thank goodness] The Shores.

How one held their hands as they rode the wave would generate either style points or derision.

My hypothesis has always been that the proper way to hold one's hands were as if you were a bullfighter.

I think that the WindanSea Guys were influenced by their trips to the bullring in Tijuana, and for some, their trips to Spain, where they studied the bullfighters' style

If you were to compare the current crop of top local La Jolla surfers, and their surfing style, to the "style" of La Jolla's surfing pioneers of the fifties, I think you would see that the hand / arm positioning has not changed at all [my opinion only]

Gracias.
