The 2005 Edition of The Bill Andrews Electronic Fish Wrapper Is Still Going?
- 22 July 2005 -
What an honor for me to be included as a surfer, and as a videographer in
Sea Level Pressure.
The video started out - or so as I was told - as a North County San Diego video, essentially for, and featuring, the members of Swamis Surfing Association.
The little Tom-Tom type video, the brain child of Ty Ponder,
turned into a pretty darn big deal, featuring world famous surfers, surfing world class waves, everywhere from San Diego to El Centro to some exotic places somewhere in some ocean.
Scott Bass even got involved by writing the screenplay
I just gotta thank you guys one more time - plus - I only got one beer thrown in my face after the premier.
Not bad for a Friday evening in Encinitas.

Judging by the emails I get, with most of them [the emails] calling me a kook, whole ass, and a bunch of unprintables, the audience who is reading this crapola, and the audience for whom this crapola was aimed, are as different as night and day.
Then you oughta learn some respect - by bowing to real locals.
I watch you idiots run-over each other, get pounded into Board Breaker , humbled at Flat Rock and Cobra Head Rocks, get stuck in the rip at Turtles or Robertson's, pitched on to the ledge at The Lounge, break your neck at Tommy Wolfe is a Dork Reef, etc.
You've been lucky the last couple of weeks, 'cause the surf hasn't been very good - but if and when it does get good - I just hope [for your safety and the safety of others] that you pick other spots to complete your course[s] in idiocy!
