<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A wave thread!? David Love and I just finished some
reminiscing off list about this. Santa Cruz is home break for me for most of my
54 years. Pleasure Point for the last 25, I followed the long board rise and
fall and rise again. Lot's of mat surfing back in the 60's. I used to go down to
Rincon, and a little place called Refugio above Santa Barbara, Swami's, Blacks
by S.D., San O. (love San Onofre) and wonderful Malibu. Southern Cal has a
wonderful feel to it, but I think Santa Cruz has got so many breaks it might
just be Surf City, and I live here! There a beach break (Manresa) 5 miles from
my house I go to sometimes, great work out with occasional sand bars producing
some perfect peelers. I surfed a little in Hawaii on the North Shore of Oahu,
but in the summer, got great waves in Maui at Honolua Bay. I'm basically scared
of big waves, but love chest to head high. I played in rock bands in Colorado
all through the '70's and learned to ski there, skiing's a little rough for me
now, but surfing is so fluid, I'm virtually never injured. If the water becomes
so polluted it's burning out there, I'll still surf. I'm careful after the rains
by the river mouths, that's about all you can do.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Fenton were do you reside/surf???<BR><BR>Rick B the water is not
as polluted as you may think. I've been surfing the same waters for about 35
years and it hasn't killed me yet. There are much more pollutants in the air
we breath.<BR><BR>All I know is the other day Wednesday I think, Anaheim was
the hottest spot in the nation at 104. I drove down to the beach at about
1:00pm. It was one of the most beautiful days of the year. Glassy all
afternoon, after a two hour surf I sat on the beach reading a magazine and
eating a late lunch. Almost no one was there because the summer is over. I
thought to myself, I love Southern California in the fall.<BR><BR>Steve
