We drove the road through Tijuana to Ensenada today and the surf was bigger than I have ever seen it on that road. Very few surfers out in that
stuff. The news in San Diego claims that it was caused by a major storm in Antartica and would last a few more days.

GREAT shot there, of the Wedge Curt63 ! I'd kill to be there right now. Thanks for the pictures.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Hi, tiotomasbcs
I think it was called "The Den of Socrates" or "Socrates Den", but age may be interfering with my memory.
The Pussycat Theatre (XXX) became the Balboa Theatre and featured "Rocky Horror" events on the weekends for many years. Then they went legit and
then, out of business. We saw the last showing, "Henry V".
Life on Balboa on the weekends was difficult in the "80's, because Friday and Saturday was cruise night. The NB police issued residents special
"Orange Ball" stickers so you could get around the blockade to go home.
I am not sentimental about the Wedge. Too many stupid people are attracted to large weather events. I saw the jetty underwater in the "70's more
than once. and knew of pedestrians strolling on the jetty who were washed into the sea and drowned in those conditions.
Too many friends of friends and others children ended up in Hoag Hospital because they were teenagers and thought that they were "bullet-proof" in
the water. Becoming a quadriplegic at age sixteen is a damn tragedy.

no worries, BB! sometimes you step on a steaming pile whilst looking for greener pastures.
old man Rich thinks adventure is when his finger pokes thru the toilet paper as he wipes his, well, you know?

A new swell hit.
I surfed O'side harbor yesterday in trunks with 66 degree water and about 2' overhead.
Real nice waves!
My buddy surfed epic Trestles yesterday with all the tour pros in the water warming up for the contest. He didnt get many waves, but what a show!
The Trestles contest starts today. It will be live streamed online, but I dont know the site
