I surfed the internet and discovered: Top Secret Reef

=====================
"BA - BA...We thought that the SUPers at The Shores equated you with the devil - are you getting soft in your old age?"
"Photos of a Meerkat????"
My reply:
"If all the La Jolla Shores SUPers could surf [on a surfboard] as well as Gail, Mitch, Katie, Ricky, and a few others, my blood pressure would probably stay within the 'slightly elevated' range.
In my world, a good surfer is a good surfer, a beginner is a beginner, and a kook is a kook.
There was a time in my surf life, when I would rather surf by myself than share the lineup with anyone!
As long as the beginners respect my 150 yard radius of death - I can live with that.
If kooks respect my 150 mile radius of death - we can live with that.
If one has to ask the definition of a kook, and what the difference is between a beginner and a kook, I'm sure at any beach, the question will be answered in a variety of methods, and hopefully, relatively painlessly."

Sand In - Sand Out in The Arena

When I was in the viewing area of the Grand Canyon, I ran into some skinny guy who looked a lot like a Joe Roper's Custom Surfboard Repair

Tom "Boomer [the body surfing beach, not a demographic]" Keener and I had the pleasure of enjoying a great dinner with New Jersey Reef Mikey and his wonderful family.
We ate at the La Jolla Shores Hotel and I told Mike that, when I was a kid, that where we are sitting in the restaurant, used to be a parking lot where the commercial fishermen would spread out and repair their nets.
Kindda like the 3rd iteration of a 1970 song some may remember:
"They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot"
From paradise --> to a parking lot used by fisherman ---> to the hotel

Permanent beach erosion caused by George Bush's creation: Global Warming


Ever since we were attacked by a Mutant Pelican, I have been worried that the genetic makeup of the MPs may be so altered, that the spawn of the spawn, of the spawn, could become hunters of warm blooded prey - photo below proves my point!

I figger that since many of the guys in the lineup [surf that is] may be 50 years younger than I am,
It is of the most high importance that I become an expert on Elder Abuse
Wave Height Graph

WHEW!
Pretty sizable today - luckily for me, caught a couple of little baby waves and went in, err, washed in.
Interesting Wave Height Graph - If you live close to SIO you got it today
I had the legitimate excuse of having to go to work - double whew -
