    Of course.

    Chris Christie has been our governor for, like, six years now. He gets things done.

    Yes, I chatted with Machuca one year ago January during the Legends Contest @ Domes. Re-told some old stories that gave him some chuckling memories. Stephanie Cabrera was also there--what a babe still--another very down to earth person.

    You know of the Aviones Boys site on Facebook? An on-line history of PR surfing.

    Nope. I am not a statue surfer ;) I rapidly devolved from longboard to shortboard to "really short" board :)

    In our age group, Micco Godinez won last year. Not sure if he successfully defended this year... the waves were very funky I know that. Stopped in at last year's event for a few hours to chat it up with a few people -- I really don't know most of them as so many of the "legends" were San Juaneros and neglected many of the 1961-1972 westside folks. I have an oral interview with Leon Lowman that I need to transcribe and write-up and then seeing about having him instated as one of the "legends." The guy who was party to discovering and naming Middles is deserving!! Not to mention a real surfing talent during that time.

    West Coast and West Coast Surf Club! Monty is a good guy but I doubt he has ever heard of that club ;) The west was a completely different scene than San Juan in the '60s.

    I was asked to participate but I declined. I return one time a year, I pick a "quiet week" to go when schools are in session and the tourist count is low--that never coincides with the Legends event.
    I am sure rod, we must have known each other or know of each other at some point. Nice conversing with you.
    I am aware of the Aviones boys site. But I have no interest in signing up on that.
