Photo of the Day

billyblastoff805 - 19 Apr 2005 23:53:44: I have to admit. Dick Dale pissed me off the other day at Newport Beach. There
was alot of trash talkin' he could of skipped that day. Wasn't necessary.
I saw the members of the Surfari's and Chantays look at each other in disbelief.
Like Jeff said. You had to be there.
Besides all the drama, I can only hope, the most important, we all helped Jim
Pash.
