Spring break. Another surf trip south for the South Bay crew. Stay in the San Clemente State park right across form the one and only El Camino market. If you got the money out the door you go with a case of Coors or a gallon of Red Mountain Vin Rose. If memory serves me right , it was 5 bucks for the beer and 1.25 for the wine. Were doing good now! Weather was good this week and we got early so. swell. So much for the day time activity. As the sun sets in the west we turn our attention to Balboa. That's where the girls are. The place was always jump'm on Easter week.
The place was jammed with people out of school. Mostly high school kids but some college too.
There were many houses rented for the week to party. Some even had names on the windows. Open house if you will. Walking down the street I ran into Jim Wicker and Adrian Eznard trying to fix the 50 ford throttle linkage. This was going to be good, a string thru the hood pulled by whoever was driving. As they worked on the car I wondered into the house and meet up with Mike Doyle, now we had some to drink by now don't you know and for some reason the girls in there wanted us out? Imagine that! Al I remember is that we were being hit on the heads with brooms. I remember seeing Eznard and Wicker driving away and seeing them at the park the next morning. Meanwhile back at the park after some good surf, drinks were had by all. Some one yelled that the cops were coming in. I don't know how this happened, but Murry Bishop was put up into a tree. Were going to hide him from the cops, yea right. I don't think anyone got picked up, so we got away with it. Of course, a number of guys went down the path to the beach and got lost. Just another great surf trip out of the South Bay. More fun to come. Tim
