When was the last time you surfed?
- Thread starter Eunice
- Start date
The last time was at Hermosa Beach, a few days before I boarded my ship, the USS Turner Joy DD 951, out of San Pedro, heading to Vietnam. January 20, 1967. So, any stories I might happen to tell, will be before that. Do I miss it? There isn't a body of water, that I see waves, and I think. Can they be ridden? I use to stand and lean out over the life line on the ship looking at the wake, pretending I was on a cliff like the Hook, watching the waves roll in. I'm 73 and it never leaves you.
Blew my left knee out a couple of years back coming in across the boulder patch at
Willow Creek.
Willow Creek.
4 hours of absolute goldenness, Big swell.
Came in to get out.
A huge set wave caught me with my left foot wedged into the rocks. POP!!!! Blown ACL. That simple...

Surfed Off the Wall until dark, it was glassy and peeling. Solid NW swell on the way, Thursday supposed to be full on, 10-12'. Sunset.
yesterday, been back in the water for a month now and still feeling a bit off. spent the better part of 6 months without surfing, had a a handful of sparsely distributed sessions throughout that time period so I was basically useless upon the return.
Right after Christmas. Some of the best surf of the year. Then my back went out, I ended up in ER and have been rehabbing ever since. I'm happy the beaches are closed. If I can't surf why should you?
