What were you before you started surfing?

i don't remember

I was a 2nd grader obsessed with surfing.
Mom quit taking us to the beach park in Niu Valley cause I'd spend all my time sitting on the table watching the surfers at Toes....
Dad brought home a psychedellic single fin gun for me one day and that was it.

toes? we know each other. went to orvell(sp) wright junior high and westchester HS with a stint at St Bernards (kicked out). surfed and went to school with mjr shrinkage......surfed dockweiler and el porto as a grom.

None of those schools or breaks sound familiar. Where I grew up, the equivalent would have been St. Patricks, Aina Haina elementry and Niu Valley Middle school. The major breaks were Portlock & China Wall.

However, we've probably surfed together here and not known it.

When I was a young man, I played the silver ball.

When I was a young man, I played the silver ball.

From Shoho down to Brighton I must have played them all.

I was so wasted, wasted
I was so wasted, wasted
I was a hippie
I was a burnout
I was a dropout
you know I was out of my head
I was a surfer
I had a skateboard
I was so heavy man
I lived on the strand
I was so wasted, wasted

BLACK FLAG?!?!?

I haven't heard that song in almost 20 years........
Those were the days. Black Boots, Spiked Hair and Rhodesian Army Camos. Moshing as Black Flag played at a the Satyricon. God I thought I was cool. But I was already a surfer by that point.

funny, we sang that last night at open mic!
