Chia: Photo - BA		Chia (holding board) and Joe Roper Chia's an interesting young man. Summer- life guard, winter, he's in school, and participating in the fun of being a 21 year old male in La Jolla
Jarred: Photo - BA		Jarred's - another interesting character! Fireman, very good surfer. Pretty big guy too, kinda like the guy you want to be buds with if there's a bit of in-the-water problems
Denny Moore: Photo - Frankel		Denny Moore - in Indo! I've know DM for almost 50 years. A really good guy, and the kind of person with whom I would literally trust my life.
Greg Bergen: Photo - Ghiglia		Greg Bergen - Greg's a good kid - He went to high school with one of my sons - Eric - and Eric would say : "Have you seen Greg surf? He's really good!" I'd say: "Dude he's still a kook!" No more - Bergen rips!! Greg's featured in ads and represents Converse
Photos by BA of WindanSea Crew	WindanSea Locals and a Few Lucky Visitors	I guess I'd have to consider myself pretty fortunate to have grown-up around here. This is a good group!
Photos by BA of a WindanSea Party	Headhunter Party at WindanSea	We must - finally - be getting older / wiser? No arrests!
BA water photos - disposable camera	Water Friends - WindanSea -	I was able to snap these photos before they beat me up!
BA water photos - disposable camera	Water Friends - Lake Erie -	I was able to snap these photos before a snapping turtle got me!
Eddie Moore -photos by Ramon Purcell	Eddie Moore	I've known "Emo" for just about forever. Good guy to surf with, if, of course, you don't mind sharing EVERY good wave!
Felipe Junior - photos by Ramon Purcell	Felipe Junior	Felipe Junior, what a great kid, from a great family!
Palm the Grom - photo by Kris Andrews	I ain't afraid of BA!	BA sez: "Pick on 'em now - pretty soon they'll be too big!"
Puna - photos by Ramon Purcell	Puna Shreds!	BA sez: "Puna - I'm a nice guy - please don't beat me up!!"
Ryan Schnell - photos by Ramon Purcell	Ryan's sic sequence	Ryan was the first guy I ran over a few years ago - I was coming back from a 7 year no-surf period. Thanks for not punching me!!

BA

Another opinion of why NOT to surf in La Jolla - Cribbed and snipped from a Dan King Essay:

"...The waves are inevitably crappy closeouts. The wind is always onshore. In addition there are serious access problems...

...If you do find a spot to park, you will end up paying for it, and most likely your car will get broken into and/or ripped off while you are out in the surf..."

Oops Forgot Some Stuff:

Thought I'd better add some disclaimers:

* All of the tales I'm spinning are based upon facts of some sort.
* Most of the tales will be at least 50% factual.

I'm doing this web thing for a few reasons, and it is, and will be, "a work in progress" for a while:

1. It's an easy way for me to organize my "autobiography" so my kids will know a bit more about me.
2. I find this computer and internet stuff fascinating.
3. I was lucky to be able to start surfing - at least in my opinion - in the "Golden Age" of surfing - I do have some yarns to spin regarding those times.
4. This is an efficient way for some of the old guys to touch bases again - I've received a few e-mails from old (err, long-time) friends I've haven't seen in forty years or so - I think that's way cool.
5. I'm still surfing almost every day - and, at least in my opinion - that's a pretty "boss" thing to write about.
6. I think it will be nice, in a couple of years, to maybe look back at how good - or bad - the surf was in any given stretch of time.
