Respect longboarding that. Especially with 60s boards. The boards got way better in 66-67. I had a 64 O'Neill (year I was born) and it was super flat, almost no rocker. Hard to noseride cause it was so fast it just shot out of the pocket. I had to tuck and drag my hand in the wave. Never put a leash on it, cause the fin was never drilled. I wanted to see exactly what you guys went through.
In the late 80s if someone got barreled and didn't come out they didn't get any more waves for awhile. Wasting waves if you blow it and don't come out. Fucking skill level out there there was out of this world. Heavily controlled.
It’s been a few months since I have rode my bike to the west side and for some reason this looks like insides on the east side. I am getting much older and these days it can be confusing on my memory. Please correct me and set me straight. Thank you much.
Stockton Ave. Low tide small to medium south swell. It loves negative low tides. I remember paddling out here in the 1970's pitch dark 4:45 am only to find 6 guys already out there. A true ledge drop, short but quick and hollow (for Santa Cruz). Surfer Magazine sold 1,000's of posters of a perfect peeier from there.
The Avenue. Many magazine covers shot here.
Stockton avenue gets hollow like me
Used to surf there on longboards in the 60's., Try that today!
