WWW A Day With BA

Every time I saw the SUPs in the line-up, I kept thinking - those Oarons remind me of...??

Got it - Meerkats

"The size of the groups is variable. A group which becomes over-large may routinely have to disperse widely to find enough waves leading to total ruinination for arm paddling surfers."

"Sometimes, local arm paddlers may become hostile towards the Oarons, and as a result, when suddenly needing to run for shelter, members of the Oaron group may choose different escape routes, resulting in the group fissioning."

Whew - surfed for 5 hours yesterday - no surf today - time to go thru some old photos and scan a few of Black's...back in time:

As I was going thru the photos I started thinking, it's about time to write The Book -

How in the heck did I end up the way I am?

The Road to being ME starts here.

I know that of the 5 people who read this dribble, there's gotta be at least two of you who remember the south wind days at The Shores in the 1950's - 1960's.

Well, maybe not the fifties, but the sixties...

1961 or so, we finally got wet suits at The Diving Locker - Beaver Tails flapping in the wind - pit rash so bad you wanted to cry - but we still did it

South winds - as always - waves - as always...but the crowds...

I saw Tom Ortner get dropped in by just about a Shores Record - 5 donks, all tied to their boards - Tommy passed them all - right before they jumped off their boards -

Man, am I waxing nostalgic - but remember way back then - when...

Jumping off your board meant a long cold swim, plus the risk of incurring the wrath of the better surfers -

In the immortal words of Reed Mayne: "Retribution was instant!"

AM Photos - taken thru the windshield - too much rain!

Doug Moranville has sent me so many good photos in the past couple of days, I've lost count - and lost a few into CyberSpace

I've found these below, and Doug, I will find the rest!

Oh yeah Catfish, Doug has some really good ones of you, but he won't let me have them - or maybe he did send them to me and they are part of the files that Team LoneStar pried out of my hands - where is the hospital when one needs it?
