THEN AND NOW!
Thursday, San Onofre 2005, with all the Turkey Day freaks
hoping to fit the mold for the 'Nofre regular, loaded up all outdoor
cook-out stuff from deNaults into their Cadillac Escolade and
went to "Surfing's Close Encounter", the traditional T-Day
outdoor dinner. There were hard-core bocci-balling heroes,
7 oz. Bud Lite boozers, pet owners, Baja trailer house locals,
and that ilk, well you know who they are, you see them
hanging at the "Rib", gray complexion and bursting purple
facial veins. Films, prior to the non sandy, non cold turkey
we watched Ben Marcus film 100 years of Haw'n surfing,
from Duke to Simmons. The best received segment was John
LaRonde's color film of Nofre in 1946. There were no log
balancers, no throngs of clowns parading back and forth to
toilet to change wetsuits. Best of all, there were no trendy
iceplant or bamboo shoots making the beach look like Guam.
Everyone takes responsibility for planting that crapp, and
should be punished. The best photo may have been the on of
the new (1946) shack, adjacent to a nice windmill, without an
obscene middle finger-mill on a deserted, non-cluttered white
sandy beach, several yards longer than the present. The film gave
an impression that people cared how their beach looked. Oh well,
trendy is as trendy does.
