think the article by Bill Wise came out in Surfer Magazine in the fall of
1991, if my memory serves me. It’s called “Gifts and Losses”, and it
it’s a very soulful look at his love of surfing and a deep passion for
living. I consider Bill to have been a spiritual mentor by the
example of how he lived his life, although he would never describe himself
as such. He was just someone who had gone through the darkest days
of the soul and had gotten through to the other side. The article is
very much worth reading as a glimpse at a truly special human being.

for “Endless Summer”, I saw the second showing ever given at Berlin High
School in Berlin, Maryland, with Bruce at the mike. I don’t know how
he did it, but Bill Wise and his partner George Pittman (they ran the
first surf shop in Maryland) got Bruce to come east with the film.
To say I was stoked out of my gourd was putting it mildly…. I’ve
seen “Step into Liquid” and that shot of Mark Foo going over the falls on
his last wave. I’m very aware of the incredible waves at Mavericks,
but it ‘s definitely above my pay grade. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

Cruz stinkin’ cold? I’ve heard that. Try surfing New Hampshire
in January! Water temps mid-30’s, air temp 20’s on the good
days. The worst ice cream headaches you’ve ever had in your life
when you punch through a wave or duck dive. The trick (if you live
near the beach) is to check out the surf first, go home, put your wet suit
on in your heated house, go do your session, and get in your car and drive
home. Then you take your wet suit off in the hot shower.
Of course, that’s if you can unlock your car to go home, because
your hands have turned to lobster claws from the cold and you keep
dropping your keys. Real Men don’t wear wetsuits. We
don’t get the Gulf Stream, it sits about 10 or 20 miles off shore.
So Nova Scotia water is 10 to 15 degrees warmer than ours, which hovers in
the low to mid 50’s during the summer. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

going to look that up. We've lost more than a few local guys here to big
waves lately. Jay Moriarity (actually he drowned free diving while
practicing big wave hold downs) and Mark Foo up at Maverick's by Half Moon
Bay. Flew in from Hawaii and put on a wet suit for the first time in years
that didn't fit. Check out the movie 'Step into Liquid' if you
haven't seen it, incredible, it'll make you paddle out, Santa Cruz locals
star in it. The film is done by the son of Bruce Brown who did 'Endless

to hear of your surfing tales. I too followed the long board rise,
fall, and rise again too. I started surfing in Ocean City,
Maryland in 1964 in the early days of East Coast surfing, riding a 9’6”
Yater. Fun waves, fast folding beach break walls when it was good,
and hollow too. I surfed Bethany Towers, where my late friend Bill
Wise broke his neck in 1965 and became a quadriplegic for the rest of
his life. (He wrote an article for Surfer Magazine about that in
the early 90’s). I surfed on the West Coast for about a year in
the late sixties, mostly North of San Francisco in Bolinas and Stinson
Beach, although I surfed in San Diego some as well (Blacks never broke
when I was there) I can still remember watching the Potato Patch
breaking outside San Francisco during the Mother of All Swells in
December, 1969. (50, 60, 70? Feet)<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

I moved to New Hampshire in 1981, I started surfing here and in

spells, but spring, fall, and winter has consistent, and occasionally
large surf. The biggest surf I rode in my life was about 15 foot
at Rye on the Rocks ( a point break), coming from Gabriel, the largest
East Coast hurricane ever. It stalled out in the shipping lanes
1000 miles away and sent 9 days of overhead, deep water groundswell at
New England. Mostly I surfed with a crew of older guys whose
company I really enjoyed and we had lots of fun together. My
favorite size is chest to head high too. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

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.</SPAN><O:P></O:P></DIV></DIV>

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 Blasyak<BR>Orange County
