D22 Joined: Apr 20, 2006 Posts: 2054	Posted on Jan 13 2009 03:23 PM Go to San Onofre during the week if you can. The waves there won't mangle you like HB can ...sometimes. I used to surf the pier years ago and nearly got into a fight with a guy there (20's something). He said I almost hit him with my board. I was not even that close. Yeah, too aggro there. Very territorial. Lotsa gremmies. Goldenwest up the street is great though. That is a great spot to go. If you get a chance go down to Thalia Street in Laguna. It was one of my favorite morning haunts. I used to dive not far from there. It is sheer beauty in the summer when the sun comes up behind you and shines it's sparkle over the clear, beautiful aqua-green. You can actually see the coral. Seals and dolphins on a regular basis. Make sure you're there at high tide though. Otherwise it can be kinda ouchy! Same goes for San Onofre. Gluck....dario — Top

I'm going to try learning to surf next month while I'm in Florida. Won't be worth a damn, but I might try it out there if the water isn't too big. you can stay on the inside (and down from the pier) and ride the white water if you are a beginner. — www.surfintheeye.com Top

(I'm less than optimistic, but anything worth doing is worth doing badly) Ted, if I make it out there I'll take you up on that.

Posted on Jan 14 2009 02:35 AM Just remember all you morning surfers, the Sat and Sun shows will start at 11 am. and we know that last year alot of people got to the shows late because of getting caught in traffic. I'm not saying don't go surfing. just do it really early and give yer self plenty of drive time. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

Know anyone out that way with a creek boat? ed I would discourage "combat-rolls" while kayak surfing--when you flip , you want to be as far away from that 40 lb kayak as you can get. These are "sit-on-top" single or double ocean kayaks and a real hoot to surf--but the surfers will throw rocks at you. I am all for "dawn patrol"--in at first light and out of the water by 8:30/9 a.m and before the amped-out testosterone crews show up. goober Top

Slingerland61 Joined: Sep 04, 2006 Posts: 225 PacNW (Portland)	Posted on Jan 14 2009 01:32 PM HBkahuna The above locations are about 20 minutes from Long Beach & Orange County Airports. About 45 minutes from LAX depending on the traffic. Long Beach (LGB)& OC (SNA) are very easy to fly in & out of. LAX is your typical large airport. Those coming for the Friday show in San Diego will of course want to fly into San Diego or possibly OC. San Diego is about a 90 minute drive from OC Airport. If you're choosing between LAX and SNA, in October I found that LAX was about $100 cheaper to fly into. (Maybe the thrill of the diving approach when landing costs extra!) And bring one of those in-car satellite navigation devices for the rental car... they're great! — Steve The Apollo Four 2012-present https://www.facebook.com/ApolloFour/ The Verbtones 2002-2012 Top

I'll put my vote in for a concurrent Friday night show at the Purple Orchid. For those of us driving down to SoCal from the Bay Area, a Friday night show north of OC works out very well. Last year, I drove down from the Bay Area and stayed in Ventura on Friday night to catch The Eliminators at the county fair. It was a perfect start to a heavenly weekend. Top
