California in the good days...not so good now. I knew it wellll. Was brought up Catholic in the day...fifth grade...said 25 Hail Mary’s, 25 Our Father’s, 25 Act Of Contrition’s every night for I don’t know how long that my Mom would let me buy a friend of mine’s 8’6” old balsa wood board with a wood mosaic “skeg” refitted on it...coolest moment at the time when I went to his house with the $15 to buy it off him....can you say happy kid? CowaBunga man. I was a surfer!! Murph The Surf. Cardiff-By-The-Sea. Hansen Surf Shop in a small shack back then, they’re big time now, Swam’s, Seaside, Cliffs, Cardiff Reef. George’s Restaurant, Fish House West, abalone sandwich’s for $1.65...God, they were good after surfing all day. Great childhood.
