The New go to.....

I had a dream, last night, that I was surfing a wave like that, but before I put on my wetsuit, I whipped it out, and peed on an old picnic table that was inside a house. Dreams are fun.

So you live in South Africa?
Or am I a dumb <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

 

[bloomies]

Nope, that was just meant in a more general way, due to the spot in the first pic not breaking like it did since they changed the jetties. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" /> Lived in those apts in the background for many years as a side note. North-West boy now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wave2.gif" alt="" />

This isn't it, but close enough waves-wise.

All time!

Not quite but i probably caught my first wave there.
It catches the same "swell" though.

Bump, cause it's my favorite thread ever I think (except for BI's big swell diaries, of course <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bowdown1.gif" alt="" />)

caught my 1st wave-1975

This is where I caught my first wave in 1963. Family rented a house for the Summer (1962-67) where the red X is.
You can see the shape of the cobblestone reef.

Find a good pic of Imperial Beach California...

Water is dirty, cold and the natives are grumpy... south wind and closeouts....

And take IBG with you! Damn transplants.

Another old favorite...

I forgot about this place, but before I ever thought of surfing I body surfed and swam and boogie boarded here almost every day.
I was only 6 so cut me some slack on the sponging <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
