My family has owned property in this pic since I was a little boy. Still does.

That's close by where I spend most of my time in the water now.

You're just a bit north, right?

That immediate area is my favorite place in this country. I'd move there in a heartbeat if I could make comparable money.

I didn't surf this spot much until after college but to this day I've probably put more sessions in here combined than anywhere else

Cowell's?
Lol, harsh
Looks like it. Plus, one of the pics he posted has "cowells" in the file name. Is there some confusion or a mixup, here?
that's the hook. doesn't rhyme w/ kook but it should. it's basically cowells for "shortboarders" 90% of the time <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/hat.gif" alt="" />
<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" /> @ Cowell's for shortboarders

Jim- the Cowell's pic is the center, smallest pic in my original post

Oh, sorry. No its not Cowells. I just thought you were making a joke...because...you know, Cowells f-cking sucks and its an absolute sh-t show in a region with a many o'sh-t shows at almost every break.
When I lived in that town Cowell's was the only spot that could be called a sh-t show to any degree. Most other breaks were very tightly regulated. Plus, there were virtually no longboards to be found, anywhere.
I thought it might be Cowells because of the sign. Back when I was in SC Cowell's was the only spot that had a sign like that.

Been surfing this spot since I started surfing in 1981. This is a pic of me a few years ago....
