WELL, IT HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN. The SOSC BOD is once again irked

to the gills, After being snubbed in Matt Warshaw's ENCYCLOPEDIA

of SURFING, the only San Onofre legend is our old friend, Doc Paskowitz.

Even the Club.s trump card, James Arness, didn't make it. Surfing is a

tough journey not for the feigned of heart. Jim Kempton's 50th anniversary

year book is great, I almost have it memorized. Whoever comped me

thanks. Both, as you know, Kempton and Matt are previous Editors

of Surfer Mag. Alright, Club, get over it. Sunday I saw the cartoon,

Seabuiscit, and one of the stepping stones to the Santa Anita Handicap

is the San Onofre Stakes. Surfing is so miniscule no one pays much attention

to it, like "Who cares". Here is the sad part, Seabiscuit us shown world wide

in 23 languages and all those foreigners are going to see San Onofre, pack up

and come to San Onofre, which isn't bad because of the mega-doubling of

the fees. No wonder SOSC BOD is pissed now the State has enough

surplus to pave the "primitive dirt road". This's is probably an ouchy

subject, but have you ever heard of "Malibu Barbie", Chevy Malibu,

Malibu Rum, Malibu Legend's Tribute and Malibu La La? By the way,

years ago, the Los Angeles Turf Club dropped the San Onofre

Handicap like yesterday's rubbish.
